Early '90s Tuscan.
-
nope.
-
Bolwell? Super Bolwell.
-
:shakehead:
-
British?
-
No, it's not British.
-
Experts now!
-
Is it Japanese?
I see the writing on the yellow truck.
-
Could it be a plain Abarth-Simca 1300 ?
-
Is it Japanese?
I see the writing on the yellow truck.
Yes it's from Japan!
-
Coniglio?
-
You meant the Hama Coniglio? Do they have built a new car?
However it's not the name I have for this car.
-
Yes - I meant the Hama Coniglio.
Just thought it might have been rebuilt with a new body - obviously wrong!
Is this car based on a Honda?
-
As far as I understand it's based on a different car, quite common!
-
Mazda base?
-
Mazda base?
wrong make!
-
Professionals?

This is a Kei-Class racer and this particular car won its class at the 2009 K4-GP at Fuji Speedway.
As to what it's called, however, that seems to be very hard to find out!
Is it called the Mental Ginza SS?
It might be based on a Suzuki..?

Actually I've found it not so hard to find out how it's called... As you are pretty close I lock it for you for 24h.
-
So it must be called the Sarah II Prototype then?
Actually I wrote that first in my post but then changed it because I couldn't believe they would call a car that!
Maybe 'Sarah' is a translation of 'Sawa' by my computer?

You've found it! Well done! :applause:
Now you only need to give me the name of the company which made the Sarah II. It's more obvious than you might believe...Still locked for you!
Properly searched you might profit in an unexpected way! ;)
-
BTW: "Sarah II" is the real name of this car and not a translation error.
-
There are plenty of pictures of the car (see below!) but little actual information, which seems to be the usual Japanese style.
Maybe the team that enters the car is called Mental Ginza, because that keeps cropping up. Otherwise I can find nothing except perhaps T.M. Works; is that the maker?
-
No, that's not the name I have. I give you one more chance to come in with the correct name.
After that I have to open it for all again. :-\
There are quite a lot infos available of this car, including all kinds of specifications you need to know, but maybe you have to use a certain tool. (quite common if you search outside your own borders ;) )
-
Allemano, you are mean :) :)
-
Allemano, you are mean :) :)
In which way...? ???

I really don't know how you can claim it's easy to find info on this car.
The normal big search engines produce just 2 or 3 results about Kei-class racing and none of them have details of the car (other than photos). I've also used the Japanese search engine sites and they only come up with the same results (Retroscene magazine, Big.. something or other and Madhouse who are the organisers of K4 GP and other Kei-class racing and which has no details of the cars on its site). Entering 'Sarah' produces no results at all on any search engine incl Japanese ones.
Maybe those in your country offer more but from here it's impossible to find anything more.
I've now spent far too much time on this so you'd better offer my point to someone else who may be able to use the information I have provided to find that last little piece of information you want.
Of course, if you have a note of the website itself about this car then of course you can read the details of it, but why do ALL search engines incl those in Japan provide no results?

See, we do it that way: I give you a point for your efforts. After that you have to be silent as a grave till one of the others has found what I'm looking for!
Agreed? ;)

The car was designed by Sarah Design and is based on a Suzuki Capuccino.
Here's Sarah I:

Well done with some flaws... :sigh:
You won't get two points for solving this and a puzzle (Sarah I) which is still in the Expert section.
(I guess you knew that. Carnut as an expert would have been allowed to earn that point)
And it had been better to wait for Carnut's reply either!
But be that as it may. I move both of them to the solveds and give each of you a point.
-
I am sorry, I did not realize Sarah I was in the Experts section. I am truly sorry.
However, regarding this car, earlier on you said that Carnut has one more try - which he did. As far as I understand he gave up on this one.
-
Sarah I was one of the featured puzzles for quite a while and was even Ultra's signature if I remember correctly.
(Shamed be he who thinks evil of it. ;))
And yes, Carnut had his chance but it's still on me as the author of the puzzle to unlock it for all...(and actually Carnut was still within his 24h time limit)
Never mind! It can't be undone now :)

Appreciated - thanks.

Haven't you searched in Japanese?

Japanese characters are even rarer than umlauts on my keyboard....
