You mean why not to find it by myself?  ??? I've tried already, but nothing yet.

Whatever...this roadster was built in Algery for Mr. Decorbez. It's a Gordini-based and was restored in 1994 in this color. Here's another picture.

Sorry, Fastka, it wasn't about you, I meant this topic, why don't move it to the pro section before giving too many clues that will inevitably lead to a (partial) solution without trying in the Pro? But this is Quiller's call and I'm (partially) fine whit that!  ;)

Sorry, Fastka, you misread my words...I was referring to Quiller, but it's just my opinion. Why let someone find out the solution gessing one by one every possible country and than move it to the solved section without even try in the pro's? But I know, it's your call and I'm fine with that.  ;)

I certainly take your point - I'll do a review of when I move puzzles. Sometimes puzzlers do get the answer more by luck than judgement - you clearly have excellent knowledge in this case!
