Arunas' #512 - a blitz puzzle #1 SOLVED: 1994 Gillet Vertigo
« on: October 20, 2011, 12:48:12 PM »
Hello All,

here's my first puzzle without picture or as I call it - a blitz puzzle.

The rules are very simple for this case: there first puzzler who correctly identifies the one and only car that I mean wins a point.

Only one guess or one question can be asked per post. The clues, if needed, will follow later. Good luck!

CLUE #1: 1994

No. You can make guesses or ask questions (one per post). Next clues will follow later.

Geez.  I'm running out of European manufacturers.  You say it's not German, British, Swedish, French or Italian.  What's left?
