Hi there, long time no see :)

Let me fire off a guess for the Z3. Could it be AC Schnitzer? Those round lights can't be found anywhere  ???

Yes!!!!

Held for 12 hours for you, to find the correct model name.

omg lol  :D

I'll try and find it, don't have much time, but I'll try :P
edit: oh, it was easy :P

ACS3 Roadster?

I'm afraid that that's not the correct answer. AC Schnitzer made at least two variations of the Z3, one which you have named. I'm after the other...

I'm afraid not. Note the placement of the exhaust pipes of #30, and there's none in that same place on the ACS3 Roadster.

Sorry for the late reply, but I'm also making a powerpoint in between :p

Not mentioned on their model line-up, but it's an AC Schnitzer V8 roadster.

Correct! that means that the person who can unlock #17 will be the person that also unlocks the remaining 99 points...

I think you should lock this for basman007 till he's back, now it's just too easy to steal his point...

No it's ok, he got it correct in the end so the point is his. There's just the one left now...

That doesn't surprise me...Wasn't it the 2.000 edition? ;D

And #17 is still American, isn't it?

Ruf? 'fraid not. They don't seem to have precense in every DuPont of mine either, but they're in at least 3 of them. My collection is scattered between '96 and 2002 though...

Yes, an American tuning house that as far as I'm aware works exclusively on Porsches. Founded in the early to mid 80s I believe.

Was this design company already subject of a puzzle before?


Not BBR (Beach Boys Racing) I guess...

This company is based in Santa Ana, and really isn't an uncommon Porsche customizer...

One last bump before 99 points solved and just 1 unsolved are reposited into the Black Hole...

Yes!!
Now I need the model of this particular one, and if you do happen to find it please PM me with the source because it appears that the Anzianos website is down, making it rather difficult to track down, and I have no file on hand to confirm the names anymore, everything is in storage currently.

I go for Illusion, but I have no proof. I will try to dig out something tomorrow

UPDATE: 1994 and 1995 issues of DuPont magazine only featured Strosek Megabody conversions by Anziano's Bad Boy. I am stuck

It's an Anziano's, that has already been established. Unfortunately on the new Anziano's website there are no history pics :(
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.
