Solved - MJW #722 - GMFSA SL-1 prototype 1986
« on: December 04, 2011, 01:48:00 PM »
I'm surprised this one hasn't been posted before......
Looks familiar? Yes but not what it appears at first glance.
Identify the make, year, engine options and who the people were who were responsible for building it.

Yes, it's the SL1 prototype.
Can you let me have the year, the two men behind the project and the engine options for the point.
Locked for you.

Your nearly there Julien.
I really required the makes of the engines....
Also who was the 'S' behind the project? ('L' was Michel Landois as you stated)

Okay that's another point for you.
I have the other director's name as Schermann but let's not split hairs as they say in English.

I've just learned this is a repost but from a few years ago; also it's NOT based on an Alpine A610..
Rather than just merge or delete it though I'll see if Frederick59 can solve it first!

Sorry - this is locked for frederick59 and that's only because it was already locked for him before I found out it was a re-post, otherwise I would have deleted it...

Pay attention at the back!
