Solved - NEH 1648: Autotecnica 'El Chitty'
« on: March 09, 2012, 06:38:00 AM »
Identify this car, its base, who built it and when - 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!

El "Chitty", a racing prototype made in Sapin in early '70s by the Madrid-based company Autotecnica.

The central part of the body comes from a Seat 600, the front and rear tubular frames are part of a Cordobān Formula 1430 single-seater and the engine is also from a Seat 1430.
The car was made by the same guy of Cordobān, that is Antonio Maduneno.
