Solved: Allemano's № 859 - Electric microcar built by Rudi Augustin (1983)
« on: October 30, 2012, 05:04:23 AM »
I don't know if this car has a name, at all.
I'd like to know the name of the builder and where he came from and what engine he used for this cutie.

I've seen this picture many years ago. It is German. Did it use a Fiat drivetrain?

It's German, but it's not Fiat powered.

Like written before I don't know the name if it ever got one..
The man behind that tiny little car has a different name.

Both were blind guesses.  :D

Was the builder well-known in another line of work?

Not that I know of.  :-\

I must admit that the search will be hard for those who haven't got that magazine.
Alas the net provides nought.

I think it's from much later and according to my source it was featured in some very famous annual publication.
I can't confirm that though as I do not have that book..

No. Do you mean Car Styling Quarterly? ;D

The book I have in mind is much much more famous.

Is it auto-centric, or a general interest publication?

Not necessarily.
Not for the original edition.
