Post by: Wendax on November 29, 2013, 02:34:58 AM

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Looks as if it's got a 2CV chassis, but I have no idea what it's called.

Not 2 CV

OK, not based on a 2CV chassis, but built using the components of another French car?

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Wendax on December 13, 2013, 08:32:07 AM

Yes, the 2 CV guess wasn't too far off.

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Djetset on December 13, 2013, 01:05:13 PM

So, a Renault 4 base in that case?

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Wendax on December 13, 2013, 01:06:32 PM

No, even closer to a 2CV.

As in a Citroen Ami?

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Wendax on December 13, 2013, 01:08:27 PM

Yes

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Djetset on December 13, 2013, 04:12:37 PM

Is it a one-off special?

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Wendax on December 13, 2013, 04:26:38 PM

I think so, but built by an (obscure) carrossier.

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Djetset on December 13, 2013, 06:04:42 PM

Built in the 1970s?

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Wendax on December 14, 2013, 01:25:08 AM

I don't have a date, but I think so.

I think, Wendax, you might have been a little more encouraging of my '2cv base' post, as the Ami and 2CV share a chassis. :)

An early version of the Marland Jorgia?

No

To the black hole

Its builder works as a painter now...

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Wendax on January 13, 2015, 04:36:57 PM

... but the car still exists.

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: pnegyesi on January 14, 2015, 05:05:44 AM

So a French coachbuilder working as a painter now, who built a car in the 1970s. Right?

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Wendax on January 14, 2015, 05:07:36 AM

Yes

This wasn't called 'Le Joss' was it?

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Wendax on February 01, 2015, 03:51:13 PM

No, but I think you've got the right man. Locked for you to give me his name.

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Djetset on February 01, 2015, 06:17:53 PM

Thanks for the Lock Wendax.  I have a good 2CV friend in France that says he has seen this car somewhere, but can't recall where, so the artist's name may take a while, but I shall keep on searching  :-\

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Wendax on February 02, 2015, 02:48:12 AM

To help you a little, the artist also calls himself "Le Joss". That's why I locked this puzzle for you.  :)
I just need his family name.

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Djetset on February 02, 2015, 08:30:51 AM

Thank you for the added clue Wendax.  Is the name you are looking for Jocelyn Bereau, a free-thinking 77-year-old artist with the nickname of 'Le Joss?'

Title: Re: Wendax 1084
Post by: Wendax on February 02, 2015, 08:41:23 AM

Yes, this car was built by Messieurs Bereau, father and son. The son is working as an artist nowadays.

Two Black Hole points for you.
