Straight to the Experts as the Rookies arena is currently quite crowded.

Sorry for the poor-quality image. I don't know very much about this one, so if you can prove to me what it is, a minimum of a point might be yours.

Ouch!

Looks like a "home built" Porsche 906 look alike.

From the wheel design, how about Citroen based?

Djetset · August 22, 2011, 06:11:01 AM

Not Citroen-based.

mymokke · August 23, 2011, 10:34:49 PM

Renault based?

Djetset · August 24, 2011, 08:31:06 AM

Yes, it is Renault-based.

mymokke · August 24, 2011, 09:14:58 PM

Special bodied Renault 4?

Djetset · August 25, 2011, 02:33:14 AM

Not built around a Renault 4.

Wow! Any more infos?

Pics courtesy of the car's designer (originally published on his personal site). Hope he wouldn't be against such a humble 'popularisation'.

From what I could understand in French, the project has started in 1969. The frame was self-designed, Renault 8 engine was put behind the driver within a wheelbase. Own designed body (well, that was obvious, I know

) with Panhard 24CT windscreen. Renault 16 radiator was used.

Wow Faksta, that's more information than I had on the car. A well deserved point to you.
