SOLVED: Djetset #406 - Nadal Nagil R4 jeep
« on: October 11, 2010, 06:46:51 PM »
This is a car I have known about for at least 15 years but had never actually seen a photo of, until today.  I've posted it straight to the Experts section as I think it's a tricky one, but Rookies are of course welcome to answer as well.

So for a point, can you tell me all you can about this car.

French yes, but not based on an R5, nor is it a Polycarter.

I'm very intrigued to see if the Pros may know what this one is, as it has taken me many years of searching to find a photo of this unusual beast.  So..?

It is french and is called Nadal after it's constructor G. Nadal. The car is from about 1970. Nadal later modified the car and called the new model Nagil.

Wow SeaLion, I am hugely impressed as I really thought this one might end up in the Black Hole.  Well done! 

It is indeed the unusual Renault R4-based Nagil, made by Guy Nadal in Frontenac, Southern France in the late 1970s/early 1980s.  A photo of this car has eluded me for years, and I have never seen it mentioned in any book, magazine or website article (apart from an entry in the Georgano encyclopedia, which I wrote!), so I am very curious to find out if you know more about this car?  Thanks, and well done again.  Here's a photo of the front of the Nagil.

Wow SeaLion, (...) I am very curious to find out if you know more about this car?
Sorry, no. I just stumbled on some pictures of the car about two weeks ago, when I searched for info about another R4-based puzzle car. It was just luck ... ;D
