Can you identify it correctly? Don't be shy, tell us who built this and what name he gave to this car! A point awaits you!

Is there a Triumph TR hidden under the interesting bodywork?

No, but the donor was British

Looks like an MG Midget base?

Oops, I missed your reply. Yes, it was based on an MG, but it is not from the UK

A Labret?  ;)
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: pnegyesi on November 16, 2010, 05:28:33 AM
Nope, it is not a Labret - though this may be an elaborate joke on your part

VW based? (I think along with "Mini-based" one the FAQs of autopuzzles.com)

Wasn't MG established, above?

Yes, it was based on an MG, but it wasn't made in the UK

MG-based but not from UK...German?

Not German, but German-speaking country...

Schneeberger?
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: pnegyesi on January 06, 2011, 08:03:07 AM
No, this was a one off with a funny-sounding name
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 06, 2011, 08:12:15 AM
Fuffi?
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: pnegyesi on January 06, 2011, 08:13:31 AM

Locked for you. Spelling is almost okay and something is missing from the name. How did you find it?
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: jotage21 on January 06, 2011, 09:05:36 AM
In a book of a friend of you.

Is it about Schneeberger or Fuffi?
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: jotage21 on January 06, 2011, 09:10:40 AM
Sorry, I didn´t see that it was Fuffi :(
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: pnegyesi on January 06, 2011, 10:41:16 AM
It is about Fuffi - so PJ you got the lock
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 06, 2011, 12:23:56 PM
I'm afraid I'll need too much time to come with an answer...
Is Fuffi correct? I wrote 'Fuffy' before so, probably that was the mistake.
About the missing part, is it the model name?
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: pnegyesi on January 06, 2011, 12:36:53 PM
Fuffi is right. Now I only need a suffix - and then the first point is yours. 2nd point will be awarded to anyone who tells me the name of the builder.
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 06, 2011, 12:42:26 PM
...a suffix? I can only guess, but then you can unlock:
Le Fuffi?
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: pnegyesi on January 06, 2011, 12:51:40 PM
sorry, not that. Fuffi X where X is a number
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 06, 2011, 01:05:32 PM
Oh my...I messed up between suffix and prefix...  :bag:
OK, then I'll start with the obvious: Fuffi I.
Please unlock it, I can go for at least other 9 attempts....(well if 0 counts as a number...)
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: pnegyesi on January 06, 2011, 11:49:02 PM
You're almost there, don't despair. It is an Arabic number and not 1
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 07, 2011, 02:58:03 AM
OK then, Fuffi 2, the revenge of the mad kitten?
Title: Re: PN #120
Post by: pnegyesi on January 07, 2011, 10:28:22 AM
The point is yours! It is the Fuffi 2, but I'd need the name of the builder for a 2nd point!

I don't think so

Hehe. No, his initials are P. B and he was working for GM Suisse SA when he built this car. Nothing extraordinary about him
