Topic: Solved TGF-470: Innocenti prototype for a van based upon Austin A40 (ADO8)

[targhediferro]

Can you identify this little van?

[richard cuyler]

Innocenti?

[targhediferro]

Yes...locked for you to give some details more.

[richard cuyler]

A prototype Innocenti LDV based on the BMC ADO16?

[targhediferro]

Not on ADO 16....another guess for you.

[richard cuyler]

ADO 17?

[targhediferro]

Sorry, not ADO 17.  Unlocked

[morphly]

Based on the platform of an Austin A40(ado8)

[targhediferro]

Indeed. A point for you. This van was never produced, it remained at the prototype status.

[pguillem]

Bellissimo !

I have to say I'm a bit miffed at this point going elsewhere - the original puzzle simply asked that this van be identified. Which I did. No additional information was requested. I tried to give some background details (albeit incorrectly ) as a courtesy.

Can the moderators look into this?

Thanks

Yes, in the original questions I always add 'based on what?' if it's appropriate and needed, but it wasn't there.

I think most puzzlers would have kept it locked for you once you'd got the Innocenti ID, until you got the right base, which seemed to be required even though not specifically requested, but it is the puzzle-poster's choice.

I think it would be fair to give you a point on this occasion.

Cheers, Carnut! Much appreciated.

@Targhediferro
no problem for me if you would choose to give my point to Richard.

[targhediferro]

Sorry Richard I didn't mean to be uncorrect with you...I though that "identify this van" may be considered as something more than the name of the maker, but actually the answer was not complete...so I give a point to you as well.
