Not the name I have indeed.

Wendax · January 07, 2018, 02:46:37 AM

Bandana?

oko94 · January 07, 2018, 03:27:13 AM

Not Bandana.

One-off from France?

oko94 · January 07, 2018, 05:38:46 AM

Yes. However, the name of the builder doesn't sound French.

pnegyesi · January 07, 2018, 06:04:34 AM

was it for sale recently?

oko94 · January 07, 2018, 06:28:47 AM

Not that I know of.

Oh, that's blown another theory of mine as I know that the very French-sounding French movie stunt driver Remy Julienne once built a Renault 4-based Jeep prototype, but I've never seen an actual photo of it from memory. So not the Julienne one-off I guess?

oko94 · January 07, 2018, 04:12:54 PM

No relation with Rémy Julienne indeed.

pnegyesi · January 11, 2018, 05:43:44 AM

Did you find this on a forum?

oko94 · January 11, 2018, 05:53:52 AM

No. Found it in a magazine.

Wendax · March 20, 2018, 10:09:32 AM

Italian sounding name?

Can it be found online?

oko94 · March 20, 2018, 10:42:25 AM

The builder's name doesn't sound Italian. Sounds latin though.

Technically I found the car online as the magazine I got it from is available in digital format, but I couldn't find anything about the car on the web.

oko94 · March 20, 2018, 11:12:57 AM

The name of the car can be guessed, as it's an amalgamation of one of the base's names and the name of what it's meant to look like.

The name of the builder can be guessed too as it appears to be not too uncommon.

Oguerrerob · March 20, 2018, 12:08:17 PM

Something like Jeenault?

oko94 · March 20, 2018, 12:58:33 PM

You're on the right track, but there is a trick

The car's name is JeeXXXl.

Wendax · March 20, 2018, 01:15:08 PM

Jee4lle?

oko94 · March 20, 2018, 01:18:27 PM

Sorry I've edited my previous answer: the name's pattern is JeeXXXl, as the ending "l" was in the right position in Oguerrerob's proposal.

But Wendax you had a good idea: you should indeed mix "Jeep" with the Renault 4's nickname.

Oguerrerob · March 20, 2018, 01:25:36 PM

Jeetrel

Wendax · March 20, 2018, 01:28:32 PM

JeepR4L?

Jeetrel

Yes !

The Renault 4's nickname is "4L", which can be written as "Quatre L". Jeep + Quatre L = Jeetrel.

One point for Oguerrerob. Another point is to be won for the builder's name.

Oguerrerob · March 21, 2018, 01:26:52 AM

Louis Dubois?

oko94 · March 21, 2018, 01:39:32 AM

No. It has already been said that the builder's name sounds latin but neither French nor Italian.

Oguerrerob · March 21, 2018, 02:08:49 AM

Hugo Martin?

oko94 · March 21, 2018, 03:12:19 AM

No, but his first name indeed starts with H.
