Hi Guys:

I don't want to upset anyone but it has been a slow "solving" week in spite of many hours of searching.
I posted on Gerd's thread on a Dodge WC converted to a bus in Austria that I just cannot find answer to with some "comic relief" photos that I found in my search.

Here I present two photos of Kemal Ataturk's fleet of vehicles that I found in a two hour journey through "cars of Turkey" in several variations.

Neither car is all that rare so I don't think I will spoil any future puzzle questions.

Please don't be upset with me.
Bill

Nice, thank you.

Was the manufacturer of this one-off a turkish co. or outside influence,from another country?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #30 on:** February 06, 2013, 02:02:58 PM »

This was made by a Turkish company with an eye on producing this in bigger series, but something happened...

kwgibbs · « **Reply #31 on:** February 06, 2013, 02:20:29 PM »

Is this a well known co. or very obscure one?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #32 on:** February 07, 2013, 10:00:13 AM »

not well known.

Was this car based- on a karsan?

Could It be Tofas?

DeAutogids · « **Reply #36 on:** February 07, 2013, 12:40:08 PM »

Is it me or are Karsan and Tofas the more known brands of Turkye? Devrim is lesser known, or Zafer. But I suspect it is lesser known still?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #37 on:** February 07, 2013, 02:44:44 PM »

lesser known than any of these

kwgibbs · « **Reply #38 on:** February 07, 2013, 03:28:45 PM »

I,ve done alot of research on lesser known turkish car brands,I can only come up with otokar? I,ll keep digging though.

Altinboğa.

And a better picture!

kwgibbs · « **Reply #41 on:** February 07, 2013, 05:25:19 PM »

Sorry I couldn,t do anymore, I,ve never heard of this car, It,s rather strange looking.

DeAutogids · « **Reply #42 on:** February 07, 2013, 05:34:58 PM »

Strange looking: The wheels and certain other aspects would lead to think they looked at the Citroen 2CV

kwgibbs · « **Reply #43 on:** February 07, 2013, 05:58:07 PM »

Was this the only one made?

DeAutogids · « **Reply #44 on:** February 07, 2013, 06:01:38 PM »

I read that they made 2 prototypes, but I saw a picture of a more van-like car, so I presume it was the only one. I also read somehing about a fire and the government not allowing the company to make these cars in quantity.

DeAutogids - congratulations! You found the car, a much nicer picture - you obviously deserve the point. This was made in 1976
