Fellow AutoPuzzlers, as today is the first anniversary since I discovered AutoPuzzles, I am celebrating with what I believe to be one of my most difficult puzzles yet.

So, for a point, can you please give me the make and full name of this car, and sorry for the poor quality photograph.

Up to the Experts...

Can the Pros solved this mystery?

Looks like the offspring of a golf cart and a Panther 6

Djetset · « **Reply #4 on:** January 05, 2010, 06:02:42 AM »

Sure does, but it's neither of those, although there is an obscure link with the Panther!!

Does it have four wheels or only two rollers?

Djetset · « **Reply #6 on:** January 05, 2010, 07:48:44 AM »

See what you mean, but it does have four wheels.

Autobianchi A 112 Giovani (Pininfarina), 1973

No, not that, but thanks for bring this puzzle back to life before it slides into the Black Hole.

Is it made by a design house or a private person?

Djetset · « **Reply #10 on:** April 28, 2010, 12:25:11 PM »

Neither, as it was designed in-house by a vehicle producer.

Allemano · « **Reply #11 on:** April 28, 2010, 12:31:13 PM »

Okay let's start to crack that!

From the UK?

Djetset · « **Reply #12 on:** April 28, 2010, 12:39:19 PM »

Yes!

Allemano · « **Reply #13 on:** April 28, 2010, 12:50:19 PM »

Okay....thanks!

Mini-based?

So, I guess by vehicle you mean something a bit different from cars?

Djetset · « **Reply #16 on:** April 28, 2010, 05:49:36 PM »

No, not Mini-based, but it is from a manufacturer that builds cars and vans, etc.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #17 on:** April 29, 2010, 03:26:13 AM »

Do you mean a company which created kits or fully-built turnkey vehicles?

DeAutogids.nl · « **Reply #18 on:** April 29, 2010, 04:25:52 AM »

Morris?

Arunas · « **Reply #19 on:** April 29, 2010, 04:34:45 AM »

one-off? Never intended for production?

Djetset · « **Reply #20 on:** April 29, 2010, 10:38:09 AM »

Three questions at once so three answers;

The company creates turn-key cars; it is not a Morris, and it is a one-off prototype design study for a potential production car that never happened.

Hope this all helps to narrow the correct solution down.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #21 on:** April 29, 2010, 11:11:25 AM »

Jaguar?

Allemano · « **Reply #22 on:** April 29, 2010, 11:18:54 AM »

Vauxhall made some experimental designs in earlier times.

Djetset · « **Reply #23 on:** April 29, 2010, 11:21:51 AM »

Not Jaguar, but Allemano is really on to something with Vauxhall, so locked to you for 24 hours for a model/project name.

Allemano · « **Reply #24 on:** April 29, 2010, 11:36:25 AM »

The Equus for instance was based on a Panther Lima chassis...
Was is built under Wayne Cherry's lead?
