I'm going away for a couple of days, so I thought I would post this one straight to the Pros to give you all some time to think about it before I come back!

Sorry for the dreadful photo, but this is the only one I can find of this unusual car. So, any ideas for a point? (naturally this puzzle is open to everyone).

I can't believe this one has had almost 100 views but not one guess.
Let's start the ball rolling - is it European?

Ah Woodinsight, you almost deserve a point for bringing this one to life, as it has sat here since last November without a single comment or question. In fact, I was recently considering moving it into the Black Hole, making it possibly the first puzzle ever to receive this fate without a single remark.

Anyway, to start the ball rolling; no, it is not European. :)

Let me follow! Post WWII?

Djetset · June 20, 2011, 12:51:59 PM

Yes, it is post-WWII.

woodinsight · June 20, 2011, 12:54:05 PM

it certainly has a European look about it.
Perhaps from Australia then?

Djetset · June 20, 2011, 12:55:34 PM

Not Australian.

woodinsight · June 20, 2011, 01:13:52 PM

Hmmm
From North America?

Djetset · June 20, 2011, 01:16:21 PM

No to North America.

hugo90 · June 20, 2011, 06:35:26 PM

Maybe India?

Djetset · June 20, 2011, 06:38:39 PM

Not India.

woodinsight · June 20, 2011, 07:00:28 PM

South America?

hugo90 · June 20, 2011, 09:14:44 PM

With RHD about all that's left is South Africa?

Djetset · June 21, 2011, 04:04:43 AM

Not South American and not South African.

woodinsight · June 21, 2011, 05:34:06 AM

From Far East - Singapore/Malaysia area?

Djetset · June 21, 2011, 08:40:16 AM

Not from there.

Not Australian.

How about their neighbor, New Zealand?

Djetset · June 21, 2011, 08:49:45 AM

Yes! Now we should get somewhere. ;)

Logan built in Christchurch in the 1940s?

barrett · June 22, 2011, 08:32:40 PM

:o

I've just twigged that somewhere I actually have this image..... if only I could remember where! (is the car next to it a Lloyd 350 by any chance?)

Djetset · July 20, 2011, 11:24:08 AM

Well spotted, as the car next to the mystery car is indeed a Lloyd, a British-built Wasp. Any idea what the star car is though?

Djetset · September 29, 2011, 10:58:21 AM

My last pending Black Hole entry for the day, so be quick!

Djetset · October 05, 2011, 01:56:29 PM

Off into the Black Hole.

Not a Logan then?

Sorry Woodinsight, not a Logan.
