A point will be yours when you guess the car correctly

Fictive car? Because you say X-men...

2 CV-based Le Patron

guido66 · « **Reply #4 on:** June 21, 2010, 01:27:06 AM »

The car is real and not a Le Patron. The base is a 2CV or Dyane indeed

D-type · « **Reply #5 on:** June 21, 2010, 03:41:13 PM »

If it isn't a Le Patron, is it a Lomax then?

guido66 · « **Reply #6 on:** June 22, 2010, 12:32:30 PM »

Not a Lomax, either

Not that, either

This is the one-off 2CV-based HJS Special, made in the UK. c.2007.

guido66 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 05, 2010, 12:58:36 PM »

Yes! Do you know what HJS stands for? Locked for you

Djetset · « **Reply #12 on:** July 05, 2010, 02:02:09 PM »

From memory HJS are the initials of the gentleman that built the car, but sadly as I'm away from home for the next ten days I'm not going to be able to find his name, so reluctantly I will have to let someone else get this. The car is called the HJS special though.

guido66 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 05, 2010, 02:29:05 PM »

I've found the website of the builder, and HJS are indeed the initials of the builder.

I think it's too easy for someone else to find the name now, so I'll keep it locked for you until your next reply, even if it takes a month

Djetset · « **Reply #14 on:** July 06, 2010, 02:23:33 PM »

Thank you Guido66, that's very kind. Hopefully it won't take a month as I will return back home early next week after visiting Le Mans Classic.

It's a tough life isn't it Djetset?
Goodwood Festival of Speed last weekend; Le Mans Classic this!
You're not married then?!

Djetset · « **Reply #16 on:** July 08, 2010, 10:19:30 AM »

Sadly in both cases it's work, although i may manage a few minutes 'play'. It's tough at the top!

guido66 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 04, 2010, 04:42:49 PM »

Haven't you forgotten about this one, Djetset?

Rotten job then: Goodwood Festival of Speed; Le Mans Classic.
Still, some poor sod has to do it, I suppose!

Almost 2 months now.

Djetset · « **Reply #20 on:** September 05, 2010, 02:24:07 PM »

Ah, I'd forgotten I was still meant to find this guy's name! I will dig it out.

guido66 · « **Reply #21 on:** September 27, 2010, 04:33:20 PM »

Free for all, Djetset will get a point when I moved it to solved, but there's another point for who comes us with the full name of the builder.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #22 on:** September 27, 2010, 04:54:39 PM »

another view:

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #23 on:** September 27, 2010, 05:44:55 PM »

Howard J Smith

he has a website advertising the car as well as industrial sowing machines....

guido66 · « **Reply #24 on:** September 28, 2010, 12:29:58 PM »

That's what I was looking for! A point for Djetset and one for Giles
