A small sports car.
For one point what was it called - make and model, who built it and the year please.

Here is a picture of the same car: Norwegian built pedal car "Tvistegubben" from the 60-ties

I can see the similarity but it's not from Norway or the 1960s and it's not a pedal car!

olavr - with 20 points you're an Expert so you're not allowed to take part in Rookie puzzles!

You'll have to wait until/if they reach the Experts board..

Sorry, no attempt to solve this puzzle from my side. I think the pedal car has no connection to the puzzle car, I was only struck by the similarity between the two cars!

That's the car.
I don't have the constructor as my library is in store at the moment.
One point for you means that you have hit the 600 points mark!
Very well done and congratulations.  :applause:

Built by Folke Höggren in Visby, powered by a 50 cc Ilo engine.

Today the car can be seen at the Gotlands Bilmuseum, Kneippbyn.
