The Name Chain - CLOSED

[Djetset]

If this Marathon's model designation is 20hp, then I will continue with the Renault 20.

Was this car ever built? It doesn't appear on Google Images or on a full web search.

Anyway we can go on with the Alpine Renault berlinette 1600 SX:

Assuming it's OK to carry on...

I don't think an actual car/prototype was ever built to the best of my knowledge, but happy to be proven otherwise...

;D. I've been waiting to use Bongo Friendee...........Is this the end? Or do we go back because that Renault Jeep-thingy never existed?

Sorry - I've edited my post.
Same question maybe, though the ingenuity on AP never ceases to surprise me!

This is all I've found about the Renault Jeepsy; sorry it's a Google translation...:

A very original 4x4 project will be developed at the end of the 80s, the Jeepsy , a name very skilfully found because it evoked both the Jeep , which was still at the time in the lap of Renault, and the word "Gypsy", in other words gypsy, bohemian, who brought a perfume of adventure and mystery.

The abandonment of Jeep to the Americans after 1988 will be the death knell of this project which, according to the people involved, has come a long way in its elaboration. Nothing remains unfortunately of this beautiful adventure which could have placed the diamond in the vanguard of a market soon expanding and on which it will launch only late, since with the exception of Scénic RX4 and Of a few concept cars, it will take another 20 years for an original 4x4, the Koleos , to be presented by the brand.

I don't know who built it, but it's in The American Mini Registry

According to another site, the Renault Jeepsy was made as a mockup in 1987.

A full-size picture of the so-called Jeepsy (only badged "4x4") is featured on the cover of and inside the book "Les lignes du losange" (I own a copy of it). It's obviously a clay mock-up with colored films pasted on it. There's no evidence that it was ever built as a proper car.

The picture posted by Oguerrerob is actually a fake ad made by a user of the Planete Renault forum, who has made many fake ads based on abandoned Renault projects.

However, are design mockups actually excluded from this game ?

I think we need another adjudication from the OP. Queries over the Jeepsy and the Cabster Mini - do we go back and start again or has Carnut's Kuga sealed it?

[oko94]

I think we should even go back to the Marathon Corsaire, as nicanary's Marathon "20 HP" is a made-up name, so it breaks the chain.

We've had a number of concept cars already, and I assume many of them were not fully realized vehicles. So, if the Jeepsy model existed (I think we'd all like to see another view), it can stand.

And what of the Mini? Is this a nickname given by the owner? I don't think that fits rule #2:

2.   If a trim or configuration designation is used as part of a car's name as posted, that designation must be displayed somewhere on the car's exterior.

An owner's vanity plate is not part of the car as built, is it?

We'll go back to Wendax's post: "Hommell Cabster"

[oko94]

And what about the Marathon "20 hp" which might not be a 20 hp (reply #399) ?

[Otto Puzzell]

I think we should even go back to the Marathon Corsaire, as nicanary's Marathon "20 HP" is a made-up name, so it breaks the chain.

I was just looking at that. There was a "Marathon K-20" by the same manufacturer, but hat's not what he posted.

So, we're back to "Marathon Corsaire"
