No, it's from 1971 to save you time.

Could a version of Alain Barbier's Ibis? (The chassis went through several body/engine/name changes between 1967-1971.)

I'm not sure of any Alain Barbier connection as I know little about this car, but the Ibis name is uncannily close to the name I have for the model, so now Locked to you to find the correct name.

I have also seen it referred to as the 'Ilbis 1300'. Could that be it?

Djetset · February 11, 2020, 03:31:03 AM

Still very close (especially the '1300' model name which is correct) but I've re-checked the name and it's not Ilbis.

gte4289 · February 11, 2020, 04:19:28 AM

SIB 1300?

No, you're moving further away from the name than before.

Sorry, I knew it wasn't an SIB (a very different car), but thought maybe your source had mixed up the two. So back to finding a closer variation on IBIS...

Edit: I didn't notice it was locked so nevermind.

I didn't see what you posted, but I hope it wasn't 'Ibex'.

No, it wasn't Ibex as that's not the right name.

OK. Not Iris, and now unlocked.

You're moving further away again. As a big clue, it begins with Ib

Iblis 1300?

gte4289 · February 13, 2020, 11:23:45 AM

Ibero?

Djetset · February 13, 2020, 11:49:43 AM

None of the above so far.

Three of the letters are correct, and the first two are even in the right order!

Bingo! At last! Yes, this is the Ibiza 1300 barquette from 1971, which I found in an old copy of the French Sport Auto magazine a few years ago, sans any other information.

I now have a slight dilemma. Do I award both you and GTE two points each (as this is a BH puzzle), or one point each for Oko getting the name of the car make and GTE for getting the 1300 'model' name?! Thoughts welcome..
