No.

Does this animal belong to the Carnivora order ?

I like both cars AND animals so I'm having so much fun watching this puzzle unravel! I actually knew what a colugo is (flying lemur),  and they are pretty damn cool beasts. A car could do worse than be named "the Colugo"!
Keep going Oko94, cheering for you here!

[oko94]

Thanks for your support ! But you can play, too !

[Djetset]

Does this animal belong to the Carnivora order ?

Yes!

Mongoose?

[Djetset]

Fox ?

At last!! Well done Oko94, after five years we have finally established that this little device is called the Fox.  Two points to you, but I will keep it here to complete the puzzle with the name of the creators behind the car.   :applause:

[oko94]

Thanks !

[oko94]

Are the creators known for other cars ?

Believe this is an electric vehicle of the type used on holiday resorts - sticker on the roof says "Resort Sport"), possibly a concept. Any ideas?

That car is a mystery even here at AutoPuzzles, except for Djetset of course: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/the-black-hole/djetset-500/  :)

Wow, that's quite a find! Well done.

When this car (called Fox) was first built in the mid-1990s, it wasn't electric, but rather powered by a petrol Nissan Micra on which it was based. This car has been a long-standing Puzzle in the Black Hole here, where to still remains today as I look for the name of its creators (which I have now misplaced, so proof will still be needed)  :).

[Djetset]

Golly, it's good to see this Puzzle revived after such a long time. So long in fact that I have now misplaced the name of its creator(s), so for the moment, proof will be required to show would built this Nissan Micra-based Fox in the late-1990s in the UK. Happy hunting, and four points now on offer until mid-April 2019 if you can find the builders name(s)!

[Trommel]

Thanks, I knew it would have appeared here! I initially thought it might have been an IAD design, but it's probably too amateurish.

[Wendax]

The license plate FOX 1 belongs to a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S nowadays. Seems to be a different car...  ;D

Hopefully if I'm right I'll be still entitled to my 4 points. It the Silver Fox built by Jeff Harrison, from Mawdsley Bleachers ECV in Brampton, Cumbria.  Quite generously supported by Nissan in Sunderland. PM sent of source.

Wow, at last!  :applause: Very well done Skut, and as this puzzle has been here for so long (eight years!), I am happy to award you four points, even through we have now passed mid-April, albeit only by a few days.

The model name was the Fox (a.k.a. Fox 1 and Silver Fox), an electric two-seater based on a Nissan Micra platform, conceived by Jeff Harrison and part-funded by Mawdsley Bleachers ECV, (pallet Fox Composites Ltd.) plus the Nissan factory in Sunderland. It was revealed at the Knockhill Circuit in Scotland in early 2000.
