SOLVED: Djetset #501 - Mosquito Sport (R4-based)
« on: March 22, 2011, 07:11:04 PM »
I've been incredibly busy recently so haven't posted a new puzzle for a long time. 

With all my other remaining puzzles now in the Pros and above sections, here is something to keep the Rookies guessing. So, for a point, what is this called?

I currently don't have any puzzles in the Experts section, so let's change that now with this one.

Sure! As soon as I'd put it on the front page as the featured Rookie puzzle, you move it...  ;D

Not Renault 5, although closely related!

It's the Mosquito Sport of 1979.

Oswald gets the point; well done.  It is the Mosquito, based on a 1979 Renault 4 GTL chassis, and owned by Mr Andre Werquin.  I took these photos of the car at a small event in Northern France a couple of weeks ago.  Not too bad for a one-off special,
