Title: #62 by Arunas Solved: 2007 Webasto SOLETAIR (1:4 scale model)
Post by: Arunas on October 26, 2008, 01:41:43 PM: Hey guys! I need You help a little bit!

I know only the years and the manufacturer of this.. car.. or what..

So! Anyone who correctly identifies what it is and maybe gives any more details (model name.. :-\ ) will get a perfect point!

Good luck!

That's a very good question! In fact, I really don't know, but I think that most likely it IS a scale model..

Sorry.. but what does it mean per se ? ::)
Title: Re: #62 by Arunas
Post by: Joao Gois on November 24, 2008, 10:12:34 AM: I mean a car of their own. For example, the Fuore BlackJag was authorized by Jaguar to use their badge but it wasn't Jaguar's car.
What I was trying to ask was if the car (mock-up?) wasn't build by a current manufacturer but rather a coachbuilder or design company who presented a car of their own interpretation of what a certain marque's car should / could be.

As far as I know this car is not an interpretation. It was also built by the company is neither coachbuilder nor design studio, but whose main activity is somehow related with automobiles.

Correct! As I don't know the model name (if it's any) please tell me the possible years to get a point! I'm holding it!

Webasto RSQ

I see the model name for the first time.. The years are also needed.. Could You somehow explain the name You provided?

Edited.

I think I will say NO, because this car REALLY ISN'T Volswagen Touareg. And the years are also wrong (if we see when Hattrick was presented)..
Title: Re: #62 by Arunas
Post by: faksta on November 25, 2008, 03:38:18 PM: I'd pick 2007.

Oh, no.. forget 2007. I bet it's 2008, cause at 2008 Geneva Motor Show Webasto had some number of 1:4 scale models exhibited.

Please motivate Your answer! My source doesn't provide any model name!

UPDATE: I've just checked for that name, and YES it is connected with Webasto as it is mentioned as a 1:4 scale model! I have it as presnted at IAA 2007 and only one more + plus picture! Congratulations Anton, I believe Your answer is the most accurate! One point goes for You!

Post by: Anton on November 25, 2008, 04:42:27 PM: Frankly, I think faksta deserves the point, I wouldn't have scored without his hint towards Webasto.

Oh, and as to my answer- the other models were everything but a limousine. So if it was one of the scaled down models, it could only have been the limousine.
