Hi everyone. Just to let everyone know that I probably won't have access to the internet for the next week or two (from tomorrow) as I'm going on a university field course. So while people are free to carry on guessing at this or any of my other puzzles just be aware that you might have to wait quite a while for replies. As soon as I can I'll answer any messages I do have and post a message to say I'm back in any unsolved puzzles. Thanks.

Ekström GP86-01

BTW: It wasn't Scandinavian. Mrs. Cecilia Ekström was born in Sweden, but she lived with her husband George Paulin in Switzerland and the team was also reported as a Swiss one.

It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Oh, I think I missed the reply :P
And I ahve found the information you have provided about the car's origin as well, Pawel. Shame I haven't found it earlier and was sure the car was Swedish.

Quite right that was the full name. My source (8W.forix.com) claims it was a Swedish effort (presumably officially, had it gotten to the grid) but the factory was going to be based in Switzerland so I guess its a bit of a dual nationality car. Anyway the point is yours.
(PS sorry for the late reply)
