REAF Saloon from 1980?

1980? 

@Ray B. Cool picture!

REAF Saloon from 1980?

Nope.

[pnegyesi]

Well, obviously not 1980, but otherwise he's right, isn't he?

[Ray B.]

Locked for you 48 hours, woodinsight. Try harder.

[woodinsight]

1950!  My mistake - only just woke up when I replied!

[Ray B.]

It's more logical. But it still lacks the model name, saloon being just a body style. I have it as a prototype, but this is obvious from the picture.
Still locked for you.

Okay - understood! REAF-50 (the saloon version). There was also a cabriolet version. Still unclear whether this should be REF, RAF or REAF though......

[Ray B.]

You're right, but I had it as a REF 600 saloon prototype.
50 or 600, I don'y know what's right as sources differ. But it seems that REAF is the correct name. There also was a convertible which was featured in a former puzzle.

If you take a look at the topic linked just above, and the picture posted by Arunas (who is from Latvia after all) you'll see that the convertible bears a big "600" above the grille. So, 50 might well account for the year, and 600 for the model, and my source be right.
I change the topic's title.
