I have a list of 4 names involved in it, but not his.

Gonna be British, judging by the flag on its body?

Was it built by Bill Carter?

If not him, perhaps the builders were - um - inspired by his eponymous beverage.

To the hyperactive Pros.

Somehow it looks like a fake record car. It hasn't appropriate wheels and the jets seem to be non-functional. Am I wrong?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #8 on:** September 19, 2009, 07:40:15 AM »

All I have is a name, a year, a place and the builders... the place where I found this features hot-rods, customs and cars like that.

There is a big logo on this car, that is the same than another very known brand...and this car share its name to that logo.
1 point for the logo-name and another for the builders' names.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #10 on:** December 19, 2009, 04:46:07 AM »

The logo\name is known in all the world, and it was recently revived by its owner...

was this car built with the aim of breaking speed record?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #12 on:** December 20, 2009, 01:09:34 PM »

This is not reported, but this car is also called Jet-Car...

pnegyesi · « **Reply #13 on:** December 20, 2009, 02:30:59 PM »

Connaught?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #14 on:** December 20, 2009, 02:58:50 PM »

This car is named after its logo (can't tell what is it, because it's like saying 'prancing horse'...)
I have the name of the builders, then.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #15 on:** December 26, 2009, 01:39:33 PM »

Post Christmas clue:
This logo the car is named after is not 'Prancing horse' but not very far from that...

Giveaway week:
Think of a logo, very famous, one word, like Cobra, that can be used to describe this ..thing.
(that logo has not the same name than the company it represents)

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #17 on:** February 01, 2010, 06:51:08 AM »

After a long sleeping period you can see this logo again....

75america · « **Reply #18 on:** February 01, 2010, 11:55:21 AM »

Fenix?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #19 on:** February 01, 2010, 02:11:50 PM »

Not Fenix... more aggressive...

faksta · « **Reply #20 on:** February 02, 2010, 01:59:18 AM »

Eagle? It has some kind of beak

Good guess, but no...the actual manufacturer that uses this logo is back again, and actually some of its models were called after its logo....

faksta · « **Reply #22 on:** February 02, 2010, 04:14:39 AM »

I understood you about the Griffin

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #23 on:** February 02, 2010, 02:57:11 PM »

Not Griffin.
This car is British.
It is named after 'something'....
This something is also a big logo on this very car (that I cut away).
This logo is like "Cobra", a single name expressing 'dangerous' power.
This logo is also the logo of a very well known manufacturer.
This very well known manufacturer is not named after this logo.
This very well known manufacturer is not British.
This very well known manufaturer is now back in action.
This very well know manufacturer had some models named after its logo.

Everything fit so good for Saab's Griffin..ehhh..

Then it must be Abarth's Scorpion?
