Not Japanese and not a concept car.
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: kwgibbs on December 09, 2016, 07:36:01 AM
Nissan perhaps?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 09, 2016, 08:14:16 AM
It's not Japanese but there is indeed a Japanese connection. Not related to Nissan though.
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: kwgibbs on December 09, 2016, 08:27:47 AM
is the connection American?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 09, 2016, 08:43:31 AM
No. There is connection between the base vehicle, which was built in Asia but not in Japan, and a Japanese manufacturer. No need to leave the Asian continent.
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: kwgibbs on December 09, 2016, 10:06:35 AM
by any chance is it a Korean connection?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 09, 2016, 10:25:34 AM
Base car was not built in Korea.

Post by: oko94 on December 09, 2016, 11:53:20 AM
Yes, it is from India.

Post by: kwgibbs on December 09, 2016, 12:10:34 PM

Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 09, 2016, 12:14:31 PM
Not based on a Premier.

MARUTI SUZUKI?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 09, 2016, 03:26:32 PM
Based on a Maruti indeed. Locked for luisps to give more details (year, model name).
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: luisps on December 09, 2016, 07:22:32 PM
I'm just guessing: Based on Maruti Gipsy around year 2000
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 10, 2016, 01:19:29 AM
No. Still locked for you for two attempts.
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: luisps on December 10, 2016, 01:02:50 PM
The wheels and rear-view mirrors looks to be from a Maruti Suzuki Zen made from 1993 till 2006
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 10, 2016, 04:18:21 PM
It may have Zen parts, but it's not based on a Zen.
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: luisps on December 11, 2016, 11:47:10 AM
Based on a Maruti 800?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 11, 2016, 11:51:35 AM
Yes !
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: luisps on December 11, 2016, 01:44:01 PM
Well! Now that we know that is a deeply modified Maruti 800 what else you request for one point?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 11, 2016, 03:16:20 PM
Original questions were : what's this, based on what, from when ?

Questions left to be answered are : what's this and from when.

To help a bit : for the "what's this" question I don't expect a name as the modified car hasn't got a proper name and I don't know who modified it, but this car is part of something special that I expect you to find to score a point.

Title: Re: oko114
Post by: luisps on December 12, 2016, 03:34:31 AM
When you mention "something special" are you refering to an unusual sport or racing?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 12, 2016, 03:48:58 AM
No, nothing to do with sport or racing.
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: luisps on December 12, 2016, 01:14:43 PM
The fact of have so many head ligths means a specific use on nigths or dark areas?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 12, 2016, 01:23:44 PM
Not that I know of.

About my previous hint: this car is part, among many other cars, of something special. All these cars are very different from each other in style, size or purpose but they all have something in common...
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: luisps on December 12, 2016, 02:20:52 PM
Can it be an amphibious vehicle?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 12, 2016, 03:15:00 PM
No, what these cars have in common is not one of their abilities.
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: luisps on December 12, 2016, 07:20:01 PM
Electric?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 13, 2016, 12:43:04 AM
No. Once again, don't try to find a common feature of these cars, it's something else.
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: luisps on December 13, 2016, 11:29:30 AM
This could be my last guess: Security/Police car?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 13, 2016, 12:20:44 PM
No, not that.

Pros ?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: Djetset on December 28, 2016, 05:05:00 PM
Was it intended for hunting?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 28, 2016, 05:06:15 PM
I don't think so.
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: Djetset on December 28, 2016, 05:09:19 PM
For use in mines?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 28, 2016, 05:19:33 PM
No.

So don't try to find the purpose of this car, it won't help you find the answer.

Was it built to feature in a film?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 29, 2016, 01:09:14 PM
No, but it's the most relevant answer so far.

Part of a TV series?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 30, 2016, 04:36:44 PM
Not a movie, TV series or web show, but the "show" idea is a good one...
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: Djetset on December 30, 2016, 04:53:18 PM
Did it form part of a live show, such as a stunt show or circus?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on December 30, 2016, 05:21:15 PM
Neither a stunt show nor a circus, but you're getting closer.

Was it a 'star' exhibit at a Motor Show?
Title: Re: oko114
Post by: oko94 on January 05, 2017, 04:27:34 PM
It's one of many exhibits at a motor ...
