Does this animal belong to the Carnivora order ?

I like both cars AND animals so I'm having so much fun watching this puzzle unravel! I actually knew what a colugo is (flying lemur), and they are pretty damn cool beasts. A car could do worse than be named "the Colugo"!
Keep going Oko94, cheering for you here!

Fox ?

At last!! Well done Oko94, after five years we have finally established that this little device is called the Fox. Two points to you, but I will keep it here to complete the puzzle with the name of the creators behind the car.

Thanks !

Are the creators known for other cars ?

Trommel · « **Reply #65 on:** March 18, 2019, 04:27:58 PM »

Believe this is an electric vehicle of the type used on holiday resorts - sticker on the roof says “Resort Sport”), possibly a concept. Any ideas?

That car is a mystery even here at AutoPuzzles, except for Djetset of course: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/the-black-hole/djetset-500/

Wow, that's quite a find! Well done.

When this car (called Fox) was first built in the mid-1990s, it wasn't electric, but rather powered by a petrol Nissan Micra on which it was based. This car has been a long-standing Puzzle in the Black Hole here, where to still remains today as I look for the name of its creators (which I have now misplaced, so proof will still be needed)

.

Golly, it's good to see this Puzzle revived after such a long time. So long in fact that I have now misplaced the name of its creator(s), so for the moment, proof will be required to show would built this Nissan Micra-based Fox in the late-1990s in the UK. Happy hunting, and four points now on offer until mid-April 2019 if you can find the builders name(s)!

Trommel · « **Reply #70 on:** March 18, 2019, 05:38:56 PM »

Thanks, I knew it would have appeared here! I initially thought it might have been an IAD design, but it’s probably too amateurish.

Wendax · « **Reply #71 on:** March 18, 2019, 05:50:05 PM »

The license plate FOX 1 belongs to a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S nowadays. Seems to be a different car...

Hopefully if I'm right I'll be still entitled to my 4 points. It the Silver Fox built by Jeff Harrison, from Mawdsley Bleachers ECV in Brampton, Cumbria. Quite generously supported by Nissan in Sunderland. PM sent of source.

Wow, at last!

Very well done Skut, and as this puzzle has been here for so long (eight years!), I am happy to award you four points, even through we have now passed mid-April, albeit only by a few days.

The model name was the Fox (a.k.a. Fox 1 and Silver Fox), an electric two-seater based on a Nissan Micra platform, conceived by Jeff Harrison and part-funded by Mawdsley Bleachers ECV, (pallet Fox Composites Ltd.) plus the Nissan factory in Sunderland. It was revealed at the Knockhill Circuit in Scotland in early 2000.
