I can't find this one on a Search, so for a point, what is the full name of this car?

ID2007 · « **Reply #1 on:** December 13, 2010, 06:57:17 PM »

Ligier JS-4

Djetset · « **Reply #2 on:** December 14, 2010, 02:51:57 AM »

No, not a Ligier.

Experts?

Looks to me like an attempt by a builder of electric carriers to create a microcar on the same base. 'Design' looks rather North European. Dutch?

Djetset · « **Reply #5 on:** January 12, 2011, 05:41:50 PM »

Yes it is Dutch. Any idea what it is called?

Wendax · « **Reply #6 on:** January 12, 2011, 05:53:02 PM »

Is it made by Spijkstaal?

Ladies and gentlemens, let me introduce you to the "Cockpitt II" (imagine the first version !!), a microcar shown at the 1968 Amsterdam motorshow by a company called... Cock

The mighty power came from an electric or a gasoline engine...

Wendax · « **Reply #9 on:** January 14, 2011, 04:39:38 AM »

In this case, it must be the electric version, since you can read "PROTOTYP ELEKTRO AUTO" on the windscreen.

Cock was responsible for the Cockpit, which I believe was written with just one T and if this is II then it must be from 1971.

The full name, according my sources, is Cock Cockpitt II - first seen in 1968 at the Amsterdam Auto Show.

That's the car! Well done.

Does anyone know what's the relations between Witkar, Cock, Spijkstaal and Luud Schimmelpenninck?

autospeurder · « **Reply #15 on:** January 16, 2011, 11:54:31 AM »

Witkar was a project in Amsterdam .The initiator was Luud Schimmelpenninck of the Provo movement who allso wanted to legalise cannabis (hashiesh)
Cock from Assen build the first series of 10 in 1972. In 1975 Spijkstaal from Spijkenisse built the second series of 25. (Cock was declared bankrupt on 26 July 1974)
Smoking cannabis was legalised but the Witkar (white car) rental car project failed after some years.
The Cockpit (one t) and Cockpit II where prototypes without any commercial success.

De Cockpit I or Cockpit '68 and Cockpit II or Cockpit '70, according to my source.
