Any relation with the Simca Fulgur ?

Quiller · « **Reply #9 on:** May 07, 2015, 06:46:22 AM »

Not Scandi, and no Fulgur connection...

Built in the sixties ?

Quiller · « **Reply #18 on:** May 15, 2015, 08:39:02 AM »

Yes, 1960s

oko94 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 15, 2015, 08:41:51 AM »

Was Colani involved ?

Quiller · « **Reply #20 on:** May 15, 2015, 08:47:36 AM »

Indeed he was! Locked for you to find the full answer

Well, I have a 500-page book about Colani and I can't find this car in it. But it looks fairly similar to one of the projects drawn for his YLEM manifest in 1971, an electric car with tilting wheels so that it can be driven inside a tube (don't ask me why). Is it related to the puzzle ?

Quiller · « **Reply #22 on:** May 16, 2015, 01:11:17 PM »

I think that's good enough for the point! It is indeed part of Colani's YLEM oeuvre. The mechanical basis is much less exotic than the one you describe - it's a VW Beetle!

oko94 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 16, 2015, 05:09:43 PM »

Thanks, but I think you forgot to add the point

Quiller · « **Reply #24 on:** May 20, 2015, 09:46:09 AM »

Sorry - duly added!
