Name and year of this little car please

woodinsight · March 14, 2011, 01:33:50 AM

No Rookie response so up it goes

hugo90 · March 14, 2011, 07:47:39 PM

Spanish?

woodinsight · March 15, 2011, 05:33:25 AM

Not Spanish although it is European

woodinsight · March 20, 2011, 05:26:44 AM

Moving up

Wendax · March 20, 2011, 05:30:43 AM

Well, I don't have a name for it, but a year. In the only source book of mine where it is mentioned, it is called an unknown Portuguese microcar from 1960. So I hope I can put a name to it soon.

woodinsight · March 20, 2011, 06:06:36 AM

It is from 1960 but it's not Portuguese

Wendax · March 20, 2011, 06:11:55 AM

French?

woodinsight · March 20, 2011, 09:25:16 AM

Not French.....

guido66 · March 20, 2011, 02:55:29 PM

From Andorra?

woodinsight · March 21, 2011, 01:00:03 AM

Not Andorran.
It's from a well-established European car producing country but the image was taken in Portugal.

Wendax · March 21, 2011, 05:51:15 AM

Must have come a long way then. Next try: Italy.

woodinsight · March 21, 2011, 07:54:37 AM

Not Italy I'm afraid

Wendax · March 21, 2011, 07:58:58 AM

Did it come all the way from Germany?

woodinsight · March 21, 2011, 08:00:16 AM

Yes it did!

woodinsight · April 25, 2011, 04:27:10 AM

I know little about this three-wheeler except its name, nationality and the year it was built.
We've established that it's German although it is shown in Portugal.

The name I have is two words (7 letters and 6 letters).
The first one doesn't sound appropriate for this car - more a term familiar in railway usage.
The second one ends in 'o'

Wendax · April 25, 2011, 04:40:11 AM

Is the first word Pullman?

Good guess but not Pullman.....

Otto Puzzell · April 25, 2011, 04:50:38 AM

Is the first word sleeper?

Tom_I · April 25, 2011, 05:38:19 AM

Or what about Express?

woodinsight · April 25, 2011, 05:51:01 AM

Sleeper no
Express yes!

So it's Express xxxxxo

woodinsight · May 14, 2011, 02:42:44 AM

Last clue for this one too -

The name is Express Caxxxo

guido66 · May 14, 2011, 04:33:15 AM

Camino?
