Tell me what this car is (easy), where this picture was taken, the date, and the driver.

Is this in Europe? The caravan is not American.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #3 on:** May 05, 2012, 04:15:51 AM »

Good eye - this picture was taken in Europe.

Some competition? Perhaps 'how fast can you tow a caravan before it disintegrates'?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #5 on:** May 07, 2012, 06:08:12 AM »

Actually, it remained intact.

Any connections with Eifelland?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #8 on:** May 10, 2012, 07:49:43 AM »

I think Eifelland is a brand of camper / caravan? I don't know if this trailer is one of those...

Wendax · « **Reply #9 on:** May 10, 2012, 08:53:32 AM »

Let's put it this way: It looks like a speed record attempt for caravans. Did it happen in Germany?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #10 on:** May 10, 2012, 10:17:11 AM »

A record-setting attempt, indeed.

Not Germany.

That paint job seems so familiar from reading Street Machine as a kid, so this must be the UK in the mid '80s??

I'd guess it's a record attempt for quickest caravan tow down a 1/4 mile dragstrip

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #12 on:** May 10, 2012, 02:50:12 PM »

Not in the UK; it may have appeared in Street Machine, but that's not where I found it.

The time from this run was submitted a well-know record-keeping organization, but I don't know if it was accepted as a record.

Djetset · « **Reply #13 on:** May 14, 2012, 01:39:27 PM »

I assume the well-known record-keeping organisation was (is) Guiness. Did the record attempt take place in Scandinavia?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #14 on:** May 14, 2012, 02:59:18 PM »

Wise you are. Right on both counts.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #15 on:** May 22, 2012, 04:16:05 AM »

I thought this was on the verge of being solved.

Wendax · « **Reply #16 on:** May 22, 2012, 04:26:53 AM »

Inofficial world record attempt in 1982 at Piteå Dragway in Sweden:

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #17 on:** May 22, 2012, 04:39:46 AM »

Still need the (specific) date.

Locked for Wendax

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2012, 04:48:31 AM »

6th of June, 1982

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2012, 05:13:37 AM »

That's it.

Here's a little movie of the event
