Alright, here goes another one.

It seems there's quite a few microcar lovers here, so let's see if this one is recognized.

1 point for correct answer.

This is the Gitta microcar from Hungary

DHoffmann · August 07, 2008, 06:59:34 PM

alecwolf is correct!

He is hungarian, isn't he?

alecwolf · August 08, 2008, 04:25:33 AM

Yes, i'am from Hungary

I'd spotted your blog and another site of yours some time ago, and enjoy them a lot. In fact, I used some the pictures you're showing for some previous puzzles. Thanks.

There was no problem with the language, on the site?

Ray B. · August 08, 2008, 06:03:32 AM

I was satisfied just to watch the pretty pictures.

While I think there are no more pictures of this car online, I'd like to ask maybe anyone has any word about Gitta's history.. I suppose that this car is a self-built one-off and has never been marketed..

Quite so. It was created by István Karika in 1958 and shown at the Budapest International Fair. Gitta was the name of his wife. It was powered by a 125 cc Csepel motorcycle engine. It remained a one-off.

A rear-view picture is available in the book, Magyar Autó - 2nd edition which has just been published and available through yours truly

If Gitta was the name of his wife it obviousely wasn't the biggest love...

pnegyesi · November 14, 2010, 05:48:49 AM

I just found a scanned version of the rear-view

There are two more pictures now available through the archives of MTI, the Hungarian newswire
