Solved: Wendax 117 - Willam Cyclo 49

No, this is not a repost.

For one point, please respond and identify this car. Further on, you have to point out the one detail clearly visible in this picture which differentiates it from the assumed repost car.

Acoma Minicomtesse. I haven't seen the original 'repost' car but assume the difference is the stabalizer wheels present on this version.

The Acoma Mini-Comtesse would have been the repost: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=10840.0

The lack or existence of the stabilizing wheels wouldn't really make it a different car, at least not worth a different puzzle.
So it is not surprising, if I tell you that this puzzle car is not a Acoma Mini-Comtesse.

Willam Cyclo 49. More substantial bumpers than an Acoma.

Yes, it is the Willam Cyclo 49. But the difference I am looking for is a more obvious item than the bumpers. Locked for you until your next reply to find out. One hint: look at a Mini Comtesse from the same angle and compare  ;)

On the side showing the Acoma Mini Comtessee had a two piece door hinged in the middle and at the roof with the handle near the floor. It had a conventional door on the other side.

Yes, that is the detail I was looking for. The Acoma Mini Comtesse had a foldable gullwing door at the left side and a conventional one at the right side. The Willam Cyclo has a wider body and two conventional doors.

Congratulations, Austin, another point for you.

The Willam Cyclo was built by Acoma, too. It carried the type designation 760E2 instead of 730E1 or 730E2 (47 resp. 49 cc engine) for the well-known Mini-Comtesse.
