My 500th puzzle, so I thought I should make it a tough one.

I think this is a real brain teaser that will either be solved instantly, or will sit around in the Black Hole for a while. Let's hope it's not the latter, and here's to the next 500 puzzles!

So, to gain a point, what is the full make and model name of this car, plus any other information you may have about it?

I think this one is difficult, so straight to the Pros, although Experts can still have a go of course.

Nissan Gobi prototype by Jerry Hirschberg?

Djetset · March 15, 2011, 05:00:51 PM

Not a Nissan Gobi, although it is based on a Nissan!

Is it Japanese from 90's?

Djetset · May 12, 2011, 09:19:15 AM

The base is Japanese (Nissan), but the car is not. It is from the 1990s though.

Djetset · November 10, 2011, 12:58:30 PM

It's Nissan-based, but not a FEV.

Propelled by an electric motor?

Djetset · July 03, 2013, 05:41:54 PM

It is not electric.

sixtee5cuda · February 21, 2016, 11:30:10 PM

Does it have a folding hardtop?

Djetset · February 22, 2016, 04:11:31 AM

Thanks for waking this one up from its long slumbers sixtee5cuda. As this puzzle has been here for so long, to be honest I have lost (mislaid) my info in this car, although I do still know what it was called, and what it was based on. AFAIK this car doe not have a folding hardtop, but rather a removable one-piece roof.

Based on a Nissan Micra?

As I mentioned previously, I lost my original information on this car some time ago when my hard drive failed, so currently I only have the name of the car, although I do have the original paper folder about it somewhere, which i will hopefully find sometime soon. So, re your question, from memory this was the work o a small company, which I don't think was an independent designer, but the firm was British. Sorry that I can not be more specific at this stage

Has the name of this car been used for another car anywhere anytime, or is it unique ?
