Solved -PJ333 - Dann Deaver's (JEEP) Panda electric car 1970

[Allemano]

Beetle?

[Paul Jaray]

Not a Beetle, that is one of the best sellers ever...but I live in Italy...

[Allemano]

But it doesn't wear an Italian name, does it?

[João]

Like Uovo?

[Bugace]

Also seen om a movie not long ago!!

Panda?

Also seen om a movie not long ago!!

Panda?

Yes!
Do you know more about this car?

[Bugace]

Wish I did Paul!

But as we now know where it was shown, and what it was called, we might find out some more.
From the shape of it, it have to be fiberglass. As the other have some simular features, I guess there was a theme of a sort.  Maybe for a challange?

[Paul Jaray]

I have only the name and the place. 

[Bugace]

It have minilites, 12, or 13, I think. 4 bolt. Leafsprings? OK, it is 1970, but on such a small car? That might be a rear, or 4WD?
It's rather short. It would not suprice me if it was based on a Honda, or a British car.
I have a feeling for Japan. This might be just because of the fact that Honda worked hard on the american arena back then.
The minilights might be a lead towards the UK, but I have a problem seeing a proper platform.

[Paul Jaray]

In the hole...

[Oguerrerob]

Is it an AMC Renault?

[Wendax]

I found a remark on a well-known blog that Dann Deaver, the designer of the Jeep XJ002, also built an electric car called Panda. That seems to be it. Does your source mention the electric engine?

[Paul Jaray]

I'm sure you got it! 
The car is indeed electric and the background is the same of the one pictured witht he XJ002 featured in the same artile!
I thought it was Jeep-related, because in the same article, the same page there are 3 cars...this one plus 2 Jeeps but in the caption and in the article is not that clear.
Well done Wendax...this one was stuck here for too long!
Point for you and for Bugace!

[Otto Puzzell]

Wow - great find!

[Paul Jaray]

It's been here for too long now...thank you Wendax for finding a name for this!
