Solved - NEH 1795: Duopower Afghan - 1993
« on: April 30, 2012, 07:43:03 AM »
For lovers of the newer cars, identify this one correctly for 1 point:

Google Search by Image 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 Search by Image 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!

2000 Duopower Afghan. It's a one-off based on a Chevrolet Corvette and uses the same 5.7 Litre V8. It was designed by a Chinese guy for another (obviously rich) Chinese guy ...

Thanks for that.
Since it wasn't part of the question I didn't bother checking that but I should have done because it's what I have too..

Yes, that's correct, but I didn't know the names of the Chinese guys out of my head ; I could have easily looked it up in Google. Besides, the names weren't part of the question ...
