Post by: Quiller on November 30, 2008, 06:25:34 PM
What's the name and model designation of this car?

Sir Quiller, I firmly believe this to be the Apal Rancho, based on the Renault 4, c.1969.

It is indeed. And I wonder if 'Djetset' means your garage has a Matra in it... or is that too smart?

Last weekend I´ve bought a unique buggy photo album from the 1970´s with ca. 250 original photographs.

And on one side there were those fine photos of the Apal R4 Rancho:

Wow, Grobmotorix, 250 original photo of buggies!  You are a very lucky chap.  It will be great if you can share some of them with us, as these will be very interesting to see.  Thanks, from a fellow buggy fan.

When I will have more time, I will definitly present some of those.

There are some one-offs I´ve never seen before myself... ;)

The problem is, that there are many photos, but no text in this old big album.

I think I will create a "buggy mystery" group puzzle out of it.

And as I do not know the names of many of the cars shown there,
some surely will have appeared at autopuzzles before...

Thanks GrobM, that will make a great puzzle, and who knows,; we might even be able to help you identify some of the mystery buggies. :)

And I´ve generated two new puzzles from it, too.
