Is it actually from Brazil?
Looks rather Fiat-based to me.  Brazilian Fiat perhaps?

Not an Isuzu/Geo base, and not from Brazil, although it is Fiat-based.

All former Yugoslavian states are Eastern Europe, so not from there, and Uno-based (not Punto) as already mentioned in previous replies.

Scamp Rooster, 1990
Title: Re: Djetset #535
Post by: Djetset on December 20, 2011, 08:36:04 AM
Wow PJ; I'm impressed.  It is the Scamp Rooster, an awful Fiat Uno-based semi-pick-up, made in very small numbers (three examples at most) in Montpellier, Southern France, in the very early 1990s.  Well done, a well-deserved point to you.

I found this pic and the name 'Scamp' in a book, but in the Beaulieu the car is said to be made by 'Automobiles Rooster'in 1989, Montpellier...where does 'Scamp' come from?

Post by: Djetset on January 26, 2012, 05:32:52 AM
I'm the person that wrote the entry for this car in the Georgano/Beaulieu encyclopedia!  At that time I had very limited information about the Rooster, and have found out (a few) more details subsequently.  The name of the company that built the three Roosters was Scamp.  The company existed from 1989 until c.1991.  I once saw one of these cars in the distance driving through Nimes, and it looked really awful!

It is worth adding that not every single detail in the Beaulieu is 100% accurate, and Nick Georgano put at least one fake entry in the book (that only he knows), so he would instantly know if he saw this copied and repeated in another book or article!! ;)

That makes sense, thank you!
About the accuracy of the book, it's totally true...there are some mistakes and what I like best are cross references:

EXAMPLE MAKER see ANOTHER NAME
and then you'll find:
ANOTHER NAME see EXAMPLE MAKER
