I am not sure it had a name, so for a point I'd like to know: country, year and donor. Easy, isn't it?

No on all 3 counts

Professionals?

I think there was a category proposed in France for 3-wheel 500cc racing cars in 1950s (I have marked them as Racer 500-3, following web info). So this may come from France or, say, Morocco.

way off the mark (not Europe or Africa, not to mention the engine)

I saw cars similar to this race in Morocco. The only photo I have of something similar is of a Panhard-engined 4-wheeler (Formula 4, I guess...it was 1971...see attached photo.)

But since that's not it, how about Down Under: Australia (New Zealand will be my next guess if it's not from Oz.)

Morocco was mentioned previously. Not from Aus or nz

India?

Hm...Argentina? They've had a thing called Formula Mini Junior, but I'm not sure this one would fit technically.

Getting closer

faksta · « **Reply #13 on:** September 25, 2012, 07:02:06 AM »

So, as I get it, we're talking about an American continent. Southern part of it?

faksta · « **Reply #14 on:** September 25, 2012, 07:12:14 AM »

Oh, wait, is it based on a Brazilian Romi Isetta?

Give me the year and the point is yours. Obviously locked for you until your next reply

faksta · « **Reply #16 on:** September 25, 2012, 01:00:59 PM »

A bit of a wild guess: 1959?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #17 on:** September 25, 2012, 01:27:16 PM »

you have one more guess before I reluctantly open it up again. Still locked. (Difference is more than a year)

faksta · « **Reply #18 on:** September 25, 2012, 04:53:38 PM »

The car dates from 1957. Designed by Silvano Pozzi and Emilio Comino.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #19 on:** September 25, 2012, 11:17:53 PM »

that's more like it. And another point for you
