Witten, Sambuceto, Nussbach and some other city. Is the first letter of each city part of the puzzle car name ? Is the puzzle car a Swan ?

[Wendax]

Nice idea, but you have to think just a little more complicated.

596d: Ayats from Arbucies ?

No

596d: Sunsundegui from Altsasu ?

[Wendax]

Yes, locked for you to find the answer.

[oko94]

So the geographical clues are :
Witten, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland
Sambuceto, Abruzzo, Italia
Nussbach, Oberösterreich, Österreich
Altsasu, Navarra, Espana

If the regions are the clues, is the puzzle car a Nona ?

[Wendax]

It is not just the first letters, it is about an easy and well-known geographical (and automotive) code.

[oko94]

I guess it's a question of regional vehicle registration plate codes.

Code for Witten is WIT or EN.
Code for Chieti province where Sambuceto is located is CH.
Code for Bezirk Kirchdorf an der Krems where Nussbach is located is KI.
Code for Navarra region is NA.

So is the car called Witchkina ?

[Wendax]

You are almost there, just take the Austrian registration codes from before 1990 and you will get WITCH_NA.

[oko94]

Witchona then.

[Wendax]

Yes, two well-earned points and another Black Hole puzzle solved.
