Now for something completely different.
What was this car called, which country did it originate from and what made it different to a normal car?

A propeller car from Russia?

It is propeller-driven but not from Russia and it does have a name

Whenever I see this puzzle car, it reminds me of a Triumph TR6...thats been banged in the front, & I always do a double take.

I'm almost certain that there is no Triumph connection but I see what you mean.
I have no details of what car it was based on.
It has been established that it is propeller driven.

For the point I need the name of the car and the country.
I might also give a point for the make and type of engine fitted.

Time for another clue -

The name of this car is in line with its' 'one-off' status.......

Polish?

woodinsight · « **Reply #12 on:** April 11, 2011, 04:11:49 AM »

Not Polish or from any eastern or western part of Europe

Solo?

woodinsight · « **Reply #14 on:** April 11, 2011, 06:44:38 AM »

Not Solo but a more commonly used word when describing 'one-offs'

Wendax · « **Reply #15 on:** April 11, 2011, 06:51:03 AM »

Proto?

woodinsight · « **Reply #16 on:** April 11, 2011, 07:23:15 AM »

Not Proto......

Does that mean it is not European at all? Or does it leve Norther and Southern Europe as possibilities?
