Two points up for grabs here. What's the car and where was it built?

Is it Eastern European?

No, it's not

Made in South America?

Nope

Despite being red, is it French? It seems to have a few Peugeot 203/403 bits on it. Could it be sort sort of obscure Darlmat special?

M'sieur D'Jet, oui, the mechanical parts are indeed French, but the car wasn't built there. And it's not predominantly Peugeot.

South Africa?

Quiller · « **Reply #9 on:** January 16, 2009, 01:06:25 PM »

South Africa?

not south africa...

Arunas · « **Reply #10 on:** January 16, 2009, 01:07:07 PM »

Asia maybe?

faksta · « **Reply #11 on:** January 16, 2009, 03:05:50 PM »

Something like Simca based special? American?

Quiller · « **Reply #12 on:** January 16, 2009, 08:26:31 PM »

I confess I don't know what engine it has - only what was the marque it was based on.

However it's not Asian, nor American.

faksta · « **Reply #13 on:** January 16, 2009, 09:30:37 PM »

So it is not based on Simca? Then maybe Talbot mechanicals?

I fear I have no information about the mechanicals - only the marque this particular car was based on and where it was built

faksta · « **Reply #15 on:** January 18, 2009, 01:18:55 PM »

Thus, I assume it was not based on Talbot, but on another French car, though was not built in France?

That's pretty accurate!

Djetset · « **Reply #17 on:** January 19, 2009, 02:36:08 PM »

In that case, could it be based on Renault mechanicals, and could it be something like a 4CV Baquette by Louis Rosier?

faksta · « **Reply #18 on:** January 20, 2009, 07:01:33 AM »

Italian-built Salmson? For, say, Mille Miglia participation? It reminds me of Salmson made by Motto, but not at all.

Quiller · « **Reply #19 on:** January 20, 2009, 08:05:05 AM »

Neither Renault nor Salmson is the marque I'm after.

And it's not Italian either...

Gordini

Is it European at all?

Gordini !!!

That's one point to you, faksta - now for the second point, where was it built? And no, it wasn't in Europe

faksta · « **Reply #22 on:** January 21, 2009, 04:22:35 PM »

On the Moon, seemingly - not American, European, Asian, South African, LHD tells it's not Australian...
Northern Africa? Egypt?

I hope geographically, not astronomically

Not exactly Africa, but very close and they've had an automotive industry at least..Israel?
