I've not posted any new puzzles for a while, so here is the first of a fresh batch of mysteries.

One point awarded for the correct name of this vehicle.

On the move...

Well it is obviously 2cv based.

(on an unrelated matter I'm just going to send you a PM)

Djetset · « **Reply #3 on:** January 29, 2013, 02:44:57 PM »

Yup, it's very 2CV-related, but do you know what it is called?

baby brousse?

Djetset · « **Reply #5 on:** January 31, 2013, 05:45:35 PM »

Not a Baby Brousse.

Djetset · « **Reply #7 on:** January 31, 2013, 06:03:19 PM »

It looks like a cross between a Méharii and a Mini-Moke so first i thought of Mini-Méhari

but decided not.

Is it a Méhari Ranger from Uruguay?

Djetset · « **Reply #9 on:** January 31, 2013, 06:08:08 PM »

Not a Mehari Ranger.

Going the other way on the timeline, is it a prototype Baby Brousse?

Djetset · « **Reply #11 on:** January 31, 2013, 06:17:27 PM »

As mentioned earlier, no Baby Brousse connection.

Is this vehicle made in Iran or some other middle eastern nation?

Hiawatha · « **Reply #13 on:** February 01, 2013, 07:14:01 AM »

British made?

kwgibbs · « **Reply #14 on:** February 01, 2013, 09:56:42 AM »

Is this a one-off ?

Djetset · « **Reply #15 on:** February 11, 2013, 04:30:15 PM »

It is British-built, and a one-off to the best of my knowledge.

Djetset · « **Reply #16 on:** February 26, 2013, 04:26:58 PM »

Yet another 2CV-baseed car makes it all the way up to the Pros!

kwgibbs · « **Reply #17 on:** February 26, 2013, 04:42:33 PM »

Any ties with the Africar?

Djetset · « **Reply #18 on:** February 26, 2013, 04:49:37 PM »

No Africar ties.

I found a picture of this car with the text Alinari on it. Is that its name?

Djetset · « **Reply #20 on:** February 28, 2013, 02:53:29 PM »

Almost right, but a slightly different spelling. Look at the photo again for the correct name, and now locked to you until your next reply.

nicanary · « **Reply #21 on:** July 14, 2013, 02:37:44 PM »

Four months have passed - I'm guessing this is unlocked. Is the name Alihari ?

nicanary · « **Reply #22 on:** July 17, 2013, 07:05:49 AM »

I was guessing the name from a composite of Aluminium and Merhari. I've now found the original image and that is indeed the name on the side of the car. The photo was taken at a Classic Car meeting in Harrogate in 2012. It appears from the registration plate to be based on a 2CV or similar from 1986.

Written behind the front wheel:

Alihari it is; a one-off 2CV seen at last year's ICCR Internation Citroen rally in Yorkshire, England. Another point to Nicanary.
