Solved: Paradise by the dashboard light - Microcar connections
« on: March 07, 2021, 12:29:48 PM »
Time for another edition of my dashboard group puzzle. Below you will see 30 dashboards and 30 pictures of various things, persons and places. The dashboards all belong to rather diminutive cars, although not every one can be called a microcar. Your task is it to identify the cars to which the dashboards belong and draw a connection to one of the other pictures. One point for each combination of correctly identified dashboard and connected picture. For a start it is only allowed to have a guess at one dashboard a time.

Have fun!

Correct answers are listed here: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/expert-autopuzzles/paradise-by-the-dashboard-light-microcar-connections/msg547583/#msg547583

Here are the first ten dashboards:

Dash T is not from a Renault Clio despite the rhombus on the steering wheel.
There is a Matra Espace F1 as a connection, but it is not #26. A typo, I guess.

Dash A: Belcar - Connection 25 because Swiss village?
Dash O: Larmar Monocar - Connection 5 because both British?
Dash AB: Fuldamobil - Connection 20 : both products of Elektromaschinenbau Fulda

Dash A is from a Belcar, but Connection 25 is not a Swiss village. Just being any Swiss village would be a too loose connection anyway.

Dash O is a Larmar, not connected to #5.

Dash AB is a Fuldamobil and Connection 20 is a slide projector  made by Elektromaschinenbau Fulda. Just add which Fuldamobil the dash is from and that one is solved.

And please, just one guess at a time. Thank you.

Close! 13 is a Willam, but not a City A3, and 13 is not a Lambretta.

Correct!

Sorry, R is not an Acoma Mini Comtesse, and 7 is a countess, but which one?



I think I have to make the "one post at a time" rule clearer. The idea behind it is that not a single puzzler comes along with ten or fifteen answers at once. (I know I have done that in former times...  :bag:) So please post one guess, wait for the answer and then post your next guess. Thank you!
