SOLVED: Djetset 856 - Amectran EXAR-1 Minivan Prototype 1976
« on: November 05, 2017, 08:38:09 AM »
I'm astonished that we've not had this one before! It might be a re-post, but it doesn't show up on a Search, so...

For a point, what is the make, model name and year of this vehicle please?

Not Soviet and not really self-built, nor intended as a sports car.

It was certainly a prototype, planned for some limited production, which never happened!

It wasn't intended to be, but I believe only one was made.

It truly is lamentable, isn't it? Was it one of the early so-called 'safety cars'?

Sorry, but not really planned to be one of those laughable 1970s ESV safety cars.
