What is this?
One point for the make and nationality.
I have very little information on this car.
-
This one is not so easy - moving it up a level now
-
Do you have its name?
-
Yes I do but the builder is unknown and the year only approximate.
I have another view taken from the rear that i will post in due course.
-
PM sent.
-
French reg., so assume it is French-built..
Renault engine?
-
Yes it is French.
Discussed it with PJ and we decided that the name I have may not be the name of the car but where it was built.
Anyhow, one point if you come up with the name I have and another point if full details can be provided - name, builder, base and year, etc.
Another view -
-
Built in the early seventies near Laval. So in French lets call it "La Laval"
-
That is the only name I have so one point for you Amsterdam.
I'm going to promote it and leave it open in case the pros can provide fuller details.
-
it looks like pre version of Jimenez
-
It certainly looks to be well-built - I wonder what it was based on and where the parts came from?
-
I'm going to place this one in the Black Hole until someone can come up with the name of the builder, name of the car and the year.
-
Can't add much more about this car, except to say that all the glass and roof section is taken from the (rare) Alpine GT4.
-
Interesting Djetset - I hadn't thought to look at that aspect.
Hopefully one day we'll know the story behind it.
-
On second thoughts, I'm going to put this back in the Pros section.
It still needs to be solved but the Black Hole is probably too 'out of the way'
-
I have no idea what this might be, but the taillights come from an early Peugeot 504 Coupé or Cabriolet.

(daft comment removed - I seem to have lost that new 'Remove' button again!!)

Daft comments are always welcomed as well as the other type.
Sometimes we can be too serious on these forums.
-
I think we are all agreed that we don't know who built this car at the moment - so into the BH until someone knows more.
-
I'm wondering if any of our new members have the answer to this one?
It's a two point puzzle (Black Hole)
-
Could this be a coupe made by Maurice Gagniere?

Could this be a coupe made by Maurice Gagniere?
Although the front is similar the remainder is quite different.
Perhaps he built two cars?
The only photo I have (very poor) of the Gagniere is shown below -
-
Looks vaguely (but only vaguely!) similar to this Barzoi prototype:
-
One point that comes to mind on the puzzle car - does anyone recognise the windscreen/side windows on the car - it may give an idea what it was based on?
-
Djetset had identified it before:

:bag: - it's time I went to bed!

Moved from Black Hole

The thread was kept active in hope that someone could provide details.
