No points for the base vehicle. For 1 point : year, coachbuilder and name of the conversion.

[oko94]

Experts ?

[morphly]

Another creation by Maillet?
It's called the Randocar.
build in 1987

[oko94]

It's a Randocar, but not by Maillet and not made in 1987. LOCKED for you for your next reply.

[morphly]

If it's not Maillet, then ASCA.
And the year is a guess again: 1980

[oko94]

ASCA indeed, but not 1980.

UNLOCKED for everyone

I read somewehere that  this specific combo (Randocar + Horizon) was some kind of an introduction for the Randocar.
But I'm not sure if the car is an indication to the exact year.

Was it built in the eighties?

That is correct.

But I'm not sure if the car is an indication to the exact year.

More or less.

Was it built in the eighties?

Yes.

[morphly]

1981?

[oko94]

Not 1981

[morphly]

1982?

[oko94]

Getting closer but not 1982.

[morphly]

1984 then?

[oko94]

That's it ! One more point for you.

[morphly]

Thanks.

Since late 1982 every Horizon had black painted bumpers. So Asca used an at least 2 year old car for this. Put me a bit on the wrong track.

Nevertheless, I think it's a good looking combination.
Here is another picture of the combo.

[oko94]

As it still has the Pentastar on the grille, it's probably a 1978, 1979 or 1980 model.

Thanks for this picture ! Did you notice that it's a bit different, as the added module extends to the top of the windshield ?

[morphly]

Yes, they added a wind deflector to make it even more streamlined it seems. And they moved the antenna from the roof to the side mirrors.
