Topic: Solved: Djetset 754 - Renaudi by Esmond Foster

They don't look like the same car to me at all. The second seems larger, wider.

In my mind, only the identity of one of the two cars, or possibly one of two versions of it, is solved

I sincerely respect that. However, after careful consideration, I'm prepared to call this one 'solved' and reward the points. Factors considered include:

• The puzzle creator (who knew the identity of the puzzle vehicle) provided images of both versions and identified them as the same car;
• Unique components carried over from the earlier iteration to the later one (identically sized and shaped trapezoidal 'doorlets,' for example);
• This fitting description: "It has been through a process of constant evolution, the initial buggy-esque styling making way for the current aluminum-and-GRP historic racer look."

One could construct arguments to dispute each of these factors, of course. But when making the call on another member's puzzle (in the absence of strong evidence to the contrary), I think it's best to defer to the information provided by that member. And in this case, I believe that a preponderance of the available evidence indicates that these images more likely than not (a common civil law standard ) represent an evolution of the same car.

Thanks a lot for quick reply
I don't argue about points because I don't care about them, but about correct solutions
I'm really sorry, but I can't clearly see that the two pictures show the same car, simply because of the different proportions

Thank you! I couldn't imagine "split and widened" with a low-cost-project
