It´s a 1952 Maverick Sportster from the USA, I think.

Wow ! That was quick. You're totally correct, and a well-deserved point. I'm surprised we haven't had this puzzle before.

(I think when it was first built it was the largest GRP car in the world)

We've all had a little moan from time to time about the "search" facility, but it didn't show up when I checked because it probably identified the old puzzle by the title "waddyacallit". How about a standardised format for "solved puzzle" headings, with the make of car as a statutory first word? It could be policed by the editors, and they could amend any titles which might cause future problems. (I know, I know,.... more work!)

It might perhaps help to check your search parameters. Do you have "Search in topic subjects only" activated?
