OBVIOUSLY BL METRO BASED BL`S ATTEMPT AT A TWINGO?

You're on the right track, but it's not a BL project.

Renault 2 prototype?

Djetset · « **Reply #5 on:** January 13, 2010, 02:48:03 PM »

Gosh, I don't know what to say. It is not a Renault 2 prototype, but it is connected quite closely. Locked to you for 24 hours for any further input.

project 140 (successor for the R5)?

Djetset · « **Reply #7 on:** January 14, 2010, 02:54:24 AM »

No, not a Project 140 car.

Over to the Pros.

one of the various VBG (Véhicule Bas de Gamme) project cars?

Allemano · « **Reply #10 on:** January 29, 2010, 03:00:52 PM »

or the1987 "X-06" project under Le Quement's direction ?

Djetset · « **Reply #11 on:** February 01, 2010, 08:45:11 AM »

It is sort of one of the VBG proposals, but not the X-06 under Le Quement as it is NOT a Renault prototype (big clue!).

Built by Matra?

Djetset · « **Reply #13 on:** February 01, 2010, 03:28:42 PM »

Now we're getting somewhere. Do you know its model designation?

guido66 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 01, 2010, 05:38:34 PM »

Is it a P41?

Djetset · « **Reply #15 on:** February 02, 2010, 01:07:31 PM »

No, not that one.

No. Here's a front view which might help, and locked to you until your next reply.

guido66 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 03, 2010, 05:44:02 PM »

A few things I've noticed:

It's very low budget car, because it has 2cv style sliding windows (Edit: R4 windows of course!)
It's assymetric like the modern Mini Clubman. (2 doors on the passenger side)

Was it a design by Matra to replace the R4?

Djetset · « **Reply #19 on:** February 03, 2010, 05:55:26 PM »

It was a Matra proposal for a basic Renault, but not a replacement for the R4. Locked until your next reply for the model designation.

guido66 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 12, 2010, 05:49:00 PM »

Last shot from me:

Project X01 (one source says it a a project with Volvo, another says it's Matra)?

Djetset · « **Reply #21 on:** April 06, 2010, 09:47:27 AM »

Guido66, forgive the slow reply. You we're getting closer with your last response, but still not quite there. Any further thoughts?

guido66 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 06, 2010, 05:44:25 PM »

Another X code?

I really don't have a clue. Let's see if someone else can shed some light on this car
