What's this, based on what, powered by what, by whom and from when - all for 1 point!

Paul Jaray · December 17, 2015, 04:51:05 AM

It is an HPD special but I believe that expression refers to a particular class of vehicle for registration purposes!
It just means it's a home-built..

This question rang a bell. I found it back as built by Stig Ihlberg from Sillerud in 1948-49.

I can imagine the concert you heard after this, then:

Wendax · December 17, 2015, 09:55:30 AM

Actually not, as we had quite a few Swedish homebuilt one-offs from that site before.

kwgibbs · December 17, 2015, 11:32:22 AM

I found it on a well-known site with just a photograph of this car,but with no information?

Sorry, I didn't answer your questions before; yes, it's a Swedish 3-wheeler.

That's who built it, yes.
I'll lock it until your next reply to complete the answers to the remaining questions...

Wendax · December 17, 2015, 01:20:24 PM

I just can guess, as you must probably have "the book" which I don't. Is it based on a Monark motorbike?

Well, I knew your answer was not enough and I have it on page 147 of that book (as I did earlier today) but I decided it was not kind in your regards. I hope this kindness will one day be an inspiration...

Paul Jaray · December 17, 2015, 02:03:12 PM

Let me rephrase that: it's a struggle to get a point these days...I hope I will have more time to play but when I have not, I'll be glad to have the chance to dig more for the ones I know...

PM sent

Paul Jaray · December 17, 2015, 04:44:25 PM

I'll reply as soon as I can to your PM.
I can anticipate here that my post (and also few others around) are probably the result of accumulated stress.
I have less and less time to play and of course less time to choose the words in some comments and they can appear too sharp or unfriendly. I did not mean that.
You can play as you please of course and I can't see a single post of yours where you broke any written rule.
I'll explain better via PM but since it all started here, I'd like to post here that was not my intention to question the way you played.
The fact that I have not enough time is my problem and if I can't earn a lock with my quick replies, I can't just ask anyone to let me finish it.
...but yet I won't complete this puzzle untill Carnut decide you had enough time.

Wendax · December 17, 2015, 04:58:11 PM

I didn't mean to create extra stress.

Paul Jaray · December 17, 2015, 05:06:51 PM

Stop scoring points then...how long do you think I can keep up?

When I see how fast you keep on racking up points pretty much everyday (and more than anyone else on this site), I have a hard time imagining that you are really struggling !

The car isn't based on a motorbike, though the engine could conceivably be a m/cycle engine; I only know what type of engine it is and its power output, not the brand.
So the puzzle is open again!

Believe me it is!
Right now there is a Peugeot car with a flip-top I saw in at least 2 different online magazines. Do you think I remember where? I don't think I'll have the time to track it back, even if it was pictured in the same page where another puzzle was...it's a tough life
