Solved - NEH 1441: Ecurie de Dez Mini Coupe by Des Higgins
« on: December 14, 2011, 08:02:06 AM »
And for today's red car - what is it called, who built it and where, for 1 point?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

I'm afraid you can't rely on people from Margate - he's not right!

It's the Ecurie de Dez, built in a number of 4 by Des Higgins from Salisbury South, New South Wales.
That pic is copyrighted, though!

You're the one I meant since the picture came from your website...
I had hoped you might leave it for someone else though to make a bit more of a puzzle out of it..

It's really impossible to copyright a picture that's freely available on the Internet; some sites try by blocking the Save Picture facility, but I think once it's posted up there it's in the public domain..
Thanks for its use anyway!

Sorry Carnut, I just could not resist answering it.
I do not completely agree with you on the copyright side, but for this time... okay.

No problem!
It's just my opinion on the copyrighting, but it would need a very brave or rich person to test it!
