was the base aircraft inspired, judging by the cock pit like housing for the driver?






Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: Paul Jaray on December 10, 2015, 01:20:16 AM
I believe it was. However it's not reported in my source.
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: oko94 on December 10, 2015, 05:33:06 AM
Built in the fifties ?
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: Paul Jaray on December 10, 2015, 06:25:45 AM
Yes.
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: kwgibbs on December 10, 2015, 07:33:33 PM
did the builder name it after himself,or gave it a different name?
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: Paul Jaray on December 11, 2015, 03:52:03 AM
Named after himself, but it received a nickname by local press.
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: kwgibbs on December 14, 2015, 04:26:24 PM
was it a strange nickname like the martian car?"
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: ropat53 on December 14, 2015, 08:00:35 PM
Was "cohete"(rocket) in the nickname?

2 excellent guesses.
Not martian car or related, but as you can see from the pic, it was indeed placed once in a set with some martians!
Not Cohete or Rocket but close. I suspect my source had it translated and now it's not in its original form.
Anyway it's not hard, it obviously refers to its shape and we all know at least other 2 cars with a similar name.
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: oko94 on December 15, 2015, 05:05:44 AM
Was it called Torpedo ?
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: Paul Jaray on December 15, 2015, 05:19:30 AM
Not Torpedo.
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: oko94 on December 15, 2015, 05:29:39 AM
Jet ?
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: Paul Jaray on December 15, 2015, 06:01:20 AM
Not Jet.
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: oko94 on December 15, 2015, 06:05:08 AM
Is the name space-related or rather aircraft-related ?
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: Paul Jaray on December 15, 2015, 06:07:20 AM
I'd say ...water related.
Consider that there are at least 2 Italian cars (quite known) that share a similar name, the only difference is that this one seems to be ...in 3 pieces.
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: Oguerrerob on December 15, 2015, 06:36:22 AM
Aero terra mare? or something like that?
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: oko94 on December 15, 2015, 06:38:59 AM
Trisiluro ?
Title: Re: PJ - 700

...but this was the easy part ;)
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: kwgibbs on December 15, 2015, 11:00:52 AM
it also looks alittle like a pegaso v-102 bisliuro?
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: Paul Jaray on December 15, 2015, 11:29:39 AM
Nardi and Silver Fox were the 2 Bisiluro I had in mind. Beside these and the Pegaso there were also Taruffi's Tarf and Koenig-Fachsenfeld's BMW...but I don't think this will be of any help  :)

monviso stella filante?
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: Paul Jaray on December 15, 2015, 12:11:29 PM
This car was built in Argentina and was named after its builder.
'Trisiluro' was the nickname given by the press.
Now only the builder is missing.
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: Oguerrerob on December 15, 2015, 02:29:20 PM
Is there any internet info about this car?
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: Paul Jaray on December 15, 2015, 04:08:53 PM
Not a single bit.
Title: Re: PJ - 700
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 09, 2016, 07:21:11 AM
To call it solved, just a surname is needed:
Builder was R. Xxxxxxxxxx.
