[kwgibbs]

Is there any Palten influence with this car?

So this little car had nothing to do with anyother make,just his totally own design ?

[pnegyesi]

yes

[kwgibbs]

Is this tiny car,named after its builder?

[pnegyesi]

yes

[kwgibbs]

I,ve got a feeling the builders name is probably very obscure to most of the commonwealth?

[pnegyesi]

it is so obscure, you can't find it online

[kwgibbs]

oh,no I had a feeling it was difficult to find.

[pnegyesi]

I am inclined to send this to the Black Hole

[pnegyesi]

and with a "little" delay, off it goes

[richard cuyler]

Nooooo! I wanted to give it a cuddle first!

[Paul Jaray]

Is there another maker sharing its name with this?

[pnegyesi]

no

[Paul Jaray]

We are looking for a cute little car built by a Mr. Unknown, and there are no other makers with his name. Is there a known person with that name (singer, actor or whatever?)

[pnegyesi]

no and there's nothing on him online either. Very difficult puzzle!

[Paul Jaray]

Not him, but one with the same name?

[pnegyesi]

this name bring 0 results on Google

[Paul Jaray]

Ok, no luck with the name...could the source be even harder? Is it from an Austrian Magazine, like AAZ?
(BTW, it's amazingly similar to Jozsef Vellak's microcar!)

[pnegyesi]

It's from a post-war Austrian magazine

[Paul Jaray]

Too cute to let it go...has this magazine the word 'Auto' in it?

[pnegyesi]

no, but as you are reviving an old puzzle, let me give you a clue, it has "Austro" in the title
