Solved: Wendax 440 - Golfier Wigo
« on: January 05, 2012, 02:33:08 AM »
A rather cubistic piece of art.

For one point, please respond and identify this car as well as the year it was built.

This one is a bit tricky, because it looks quite as two different microcars, still closely related to each other : the Fiam Johnny Panther and the Decsa Lisa...
The Lisa was a kind of restyling of the Johnny Panther, and the car featured on your picture looks like a cross between both !
But, as the bonnet and headlights are very close to the Lisa, I would say it is the Decsa Lisa 4-wheel version prototype... Made by Decsa SA, in San Marino !

As far as I know, sales started in France in 1981. So let's say '1981'...

Anyway, I've never seen this picture, with the fake grille and no quarter light.

I see what you mean, but it is neither a Fiam Johnny Panther nor a Decsa Lisa, and as far as I know this one isn't even related to those two.

It's very strange, because the shape is obviously taken from one of those, being largely similar to the Decsa Lisa, with same bonnet, headlight, windscreen and doors...

Anyway, is it italian at all ?

Having taken a second look I agree that the builder of the puzzle car must have used some Decsa Lisa parts. The car is not Italian, though (nor San Marinese  ;D ).

I think I know the reasons for the grille and the rear body modifications.

God, everyday I learn something new here !  ;D

I suppose the body was modified for FWD, as both the Fiam and the Decsa were rear engined...

ATW from Germany ?

From Germany, but not ATW. ATW sold the Decsa Lisa with a 50 cc engine, but unaltered bodywise, as ATW Microcar Lissy.

He started developing this car at that time, but the car in the photo was built later.

No, it is German, using parts of the San Marinese Decsa Lisa.
