As far as I know it's the personal project of one single (mad) man, but was sponsored by several companies.

Magnus?
The taken pictures are made by a man called Magnus, but he's not the builder/designer of this monstrosity.

Not the name I have. I'm not sure if this mongrel has a certain name at all.
I want the builder's name for a point.

Only a few words are needed and maybe a little help of Google's translator (if you aren't a native speaker)
Then it should be (one of) the first search result(s).

No.

I need a fore- and a surname.

I've gone through the whole thread with those photos, but couldn't find any mention of the builder (apart from the city he lives in).
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

I've checked it on myself if I could find the car/builder on the internet without knowing anything except what's written/shown here on this topic:
1. I've googled in Swedish.
2. I've searched after the distinctive/odd details of the car in combination with make and sponsor which were already figured out.

Google shows me on the first result all I want to know to solve this puzzle.

I'm either stupid or blind, cause I can't see it.

A few companies, the only name that was mentioned explicitly is Lesonal.

If you mean the Bilsport magazine, then it wasn't a sponsor. The car just won their contest.

No problem :) I used the Bilsport name in my searches too. Bilsport, Golf, gullwing and eight-wheel (in english as well as swedish) - still nothing :(

Edit: Ari Koskinen :D

I was using åttahjulig in my searches, while it should have been 8-hjulig :)

Right you are. Ari Koskinen was the name I was after. One point for PJ and one for ImpishGrin.
