Quick Pro point?

Not a single guess.

I'm sure I've found the mk2 version...

An eagle-eyed Puzzler may recognize some of the body parts used to make the puzzle car, which might lead them to the answer.

The front exhaust pipes look as though it's mimicking the French Dechaux.
However I'm sure that's got nothing to do with it.
Presumably the bodywork incorporates the front wings of an adult car.
Is it European?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #7 on:** December 22, 2010, 12:49:10 PM »

The engine is European. The fenders (wings) are from the rear of a full size automobile from the States.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #8 on:** December 22, 2010, 01:02:18 PM »

The car was constructed outside of the US

woodinsight · « **Reply #9 on:** December 22, 2010, 01:07:18 PM »

Somewhere such as a US forces base overseas?

Narrowed down to Germany?
I must say I have no clue as to the identity of the car at the moment

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #12 on:** December 22, 2010, 02:08:22 PM »

Actually, I don't know where the builder was stationed. Germany is a good bet, however. Since you hit on that tidbit, I'll tell you the engine is indeed German.

Locked for you to search a bit more.

Engine may be a Fichtel Sachs but that's really a guess off the top of my head at the moment!

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #14 on:** December 22, 2010, 02:26:43 PM »

Don't know the maker of the engine, only that it's from a German 2-wheeler.

woodinsight · « **Reply #15 on:** December 22, 2010, 02:38:36 PM »

Thanks for the lock Otto but it will take me some time to come up with another guess so I suggest if I don't reply within 24hrs please open it up for others

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #16 on:** December 22, 2010, 02:49:49 PM »

Understood. Until this time tomorrow, locked for you. After that - open season!

A clue: this car appears in a magazine oft used by AutoPuzzlers as a source of puzzle material. Quite popular, it is.

To the hole with you, little fella.

Allemano · « **Reply #18 on:** January 22, 2011, 10:21:50 AM »

Will take a stab on this, though not today...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #19 on:** February 27, 2011, 05:31:49 AM »

Today

?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #20 on:** August 04, 2011, 05:05:23 AM »

Or today

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #21 on:** August 06, 2011, 07:39:14 AM »

I know they use that first pictured clue item in Germany. Not sure about the second...

Allemano · « **Reply #22 on:** August 06, 2011, 08:29:44 AM »

Is clue 1 of reply#20 referring to an industrial region?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #23 on:** August 06, 2011, 09:01:30 AM »

No. The clues, combined, provide a path to the answer.

In other words, the clues do not stand alone.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #24 on:** September 23, 2011, 04:35:14 AM »

This puzzle comes from a very well-mined source. I'm really baffled by its durable elusiveness.
