He made the car that was built in Florida, yes.

He worked with Jim Muir on the Sebring Vanguard Citicar. So is Jim Muir the puzzle guy ?

Everything I can find about the Sebring Vanguard Citicar always only mentions Robert Beaumont or Jim Muir. But it is said to have been inspired by the Club Car golf carts. Should I investigate in this direction ?

I noticed that too when looking into the Sebring Vanguard Citicar; there is no mention of the man who made the puzzle csr.
Yet when you look into his history you find he actually designed the Citicar!  Very odd.
I don't know if he was involved in Club Car golf carts though; I haven't seen any mention of those.

I don't know that name, but perhaps you're referring to the company in Florida, which is not connected to this particular vehicle apart from the fact both were designed by the same individual originally.  I think that was the end of his involvement with the Citicar.

Frank Didik is known for building solar and electric cars. He has modified a CitiCar but was not involved with its original design.

I was wondering what had happened to this puzzle just this morning!
Yes, it was indeed Bob Rice.
Below is the un-modified puzzle picture.
Well done, finally!
