All it needs is the tether/cable, and the cylinder head sticking out of the cockpit and a circlular track

Post by: Paul Jaray on July 20, 2012, 04:05:05 PM: OK, 1 point for the nationality PLUS a simple feature of this car (quite easy if you read my previous reply) and 1 point for the name of the "builder", quite common in that place (I'll give more clues to find him later).

Title: Re: PJ - 450
Post by: faksta on July 20, 2012, 05:08:23 PM: P.S. I thought Roger meant cordodrome cars :) (or whatever they're called - tethered model cars maybe?)
Title: Re: PJ - 450
Post by: Paul Jaray on July 20, 2012, 05:15:11 PM: Yes, now I realized.
Since it was a long-sleeping puzzle I hope I did not waste anybody's time with that reply.
This vehicle was an electric concept, 4WD and 4 brakes on each wheel ("like the Bugatti 4WD" says the author of the article) and was built in XXXX by Mr XXXX XXXX. (don't count the Xs).

Ok. Here's my 1 attempt...and it's a wild-assed guess: Acksjön lake in Sweden? (Slightly different from the surface I race on!) ;D

Post by: Paul Jaray on July 20, 2012, 05:37:18 PM: Ok 1 point for RayTheRat, who nailed the nation.
No need to go trough all the cities in Sweden, it was from Stockholm.
Now, who is the creator?
XXXX XXXXXXson. (now you can count the Xs)

Post by: Paul Jaray on July 22, 2012, 03:05:27 AM: Wow...I thought it was a known name.
There's nothing more about in the article I've got...the year should be 1932.
