What is it, when was it built and what's it's name. For one point

We should start a new topic where we put all those lotus super 7 derivates, kits, ripp-offs etc..
I'm curious how many we would find.

I think the number is uncountable

I'd say at the VERY least 100 variations on a theme...

Anybody else wanna complain?

Almost looks Austin 7 based. A 750cc special?

Amsterdam · « **Reply #7 on:** February 10, 2011, 02:25:35 PM »

Yes it is built from Austin 7 parts.

BSA Austin 7 special?

woodinsight · « **Reply #10 on:** March 01, 2011, 03:14:15 AM »

Dante Sprint?

Amsterdam · « **Reply #11 on:** March 01, 2011, 03:36:28 AM »

No to both, This one is a one-off home built and was given a very strange name.
It is only on one site on-line and so not an easy find

woodinsight · « **Reply #12 on:** March 06, 2011, 12:56:59 PM »

Just to make it clear - was it built in the UK?

I think I remember someone building something like this in Alma Road, St Albans. Called it Buroche for some reason.

That is not this one. According to the story, the strange name had somehow to do with the color he painted it, although built in the UK the name does not sound English to me at all.

woodinsight · « **Reply #16 on:** March 06, 2011, 02:06:30 PM »

The only non-English sounding name I can find is Arteesi

Amsterdam · « **Reply #17 on:** March 06, 2011, 02:11:38 PM »

No that's not it.

To me the name sounds Dutch and it makes me think of beer

Allan L · « **Reply #18 on:** March 06, 2011, 06:23:33 PM »

Oranjeboom?

Oranjeboom?

That's indeed what it sounds like.The first part of the name is slightly differnt, and the second part is a little shorter and relates also to a type of beer.

Oh, and do not drink Oranjeboom. it is horrible.

woodinsight · « **Reply #20 on:** March 07, 2011, 12:23:15 AM »

Orangebomb?

Amsterdam · « **Reply #21 on:** March 07, 2011, 02:48:18 AM »

Getting colder

Correction. Same amount of letters as Oranjeboom. Only three letters are different.

woodinsight · « **Reply #22 on:** March 07, 2011, 03:12:29 AM »

Orangebock?

Amsterdam · « **Reply #23 on:** March 07, 2011, 03:16:49 AM »

Closer but no, remeber it does not sound English

woodinsight · « **Reply #24 on:** March 07, 2011, 04:13:37 AM »
