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

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

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.
