Nice way to transport your bike.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and its builder.

Is it a NSU Ro80 turned into a six-wheeled car ?

Built by Eamon Hurley. It's a transporter for his blown, NSU-powered drag bike.

Yes, I'm stiil sure that this puzzle could have been solved at rookie or at least expert level, but you never know.

I would even say that most of the puzzles I solve could have been solved at a lower level as the solving is not based on knowledge but on perseverance.

Another view of this crazy car.

This bike apparently ran a best of 8.60 sec/160mph (about 1977), but the engine exploded due to the more than 20% nitro fuel. A ruined Ro80 engine and a ruined Ro80 car. Great legacy, Eamon!  ;D
