I posted one of these as a puzzle a few days ago (it's in the rookie board, I'm not sure what to do with it now) and I had another one of them lined up to post soon...  I can't help it, it makes me sad to see potential puzzles being passed up.

Luckily Monty only you and I saw it. So I took it down. I’ll find another one for that country. Sorry for not noticing earlier you had that as a puzzle!

Lithuania: Excalibur BMW Shark Mercedes Benz CL Coupe based by Audronis Gestrautas 2010

Correction:

Make name: AG Excalibur. Here AG stands for Audronis Gestautas (from Kaunas Lithuania). Excalibur is just a nice word that he decided to use together.
Models: Shark, based on BMW M6.
The second car is based on Mercedes-Benz. It has no official model designation, as far as I know.
The third car is Alligator. Based on BMW X6. Presented at IAA Frankfurt 2015.
All of them are one-offs.

I have official brochure of AG Excalibur in my archive. To my best knowledge, Audronis Gestautas is currently busy with some restoration works.

Myanmar: Ueli Anlike SLR 999 Red Gold Dream by Neli Anliker Design

This one was made in Switzerland, as far as I know. There's a dedicated website for his creations...

Georgia - MIG Tako M100. Georgia’s answer to Monte Carlo Automotive.

Correct info:

In 1993 a Georgian businessman bought the right for the car and the company and decided to race 'Le Mans' with a renamed 'Centenaire: MIG M100 (MIG standing for 'Migrelia & Georgia'). The experience was a complete failure, not passing qualification, being at best at the 30th position behind the leader.

You're right, I had it as a Myanmar's original car related with some Swiss Car Tuner.  I didn't double checked
Sorry, but I don't have an original car for replaced it

I doubt many children would know it, but it was saved from oblivion by Bburago

It was done in a more correct colour (not yellow) as well.

Myanmar's was featured in a puzzle: Dagon Jeep (Station Wagon) SPD 2006

[Oguerrerob]

Yes, I knew about the Dagon Jeep, but avoiding future rejects because the similarities with the regular Jeep, I skipped it. But it's good for me

There is another car from the country on this very site. We can use that one too!

Dominica: Khameleon By Lawrence Robin. Based on  a ‘97 Honda Prelude.

Well, isn't this just a Japanese-made Honda Prelude with a US-made Wings West Aggressor body kit ? Apart from the fancy name there's hardly anything genuinely Dominican in this car.

A MIG Tako diecast car? That looks really unique! Did you find this for sale? If so I’d loce to add it to my collection!

It's mine. However, it is a 1:43 Bburago diecast and with a bit of luck you can easily find one for a low price. On Ebay I found one for little over $3 in the UK in the right colours and one like mine in yellow for just over $2 in Belgium (though play-worn).

[Oguerrerob]

I have other version of it
MCA Centenaire GTB (Only one was built) 1990

[oko94]

Looks rather more like a Ferrari F50

I’ll have to look a little bit more. I’ve never been much of a 1:43 scale collecter. It’s always been either 1:64 or 1:18 (Which tends to be on the pricey side!) We really dont have many Bburago sets here in America, when we do its usually left in the discarded area of offbrand cars, making room for things like Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Johnny Lightning, and now Majorette. Bburago does have some 1:64 scale cars like their Ferrari collection, but those don’t sell here and they cost about 7 dollars on Ebay. I dunno. I really do wanna find that Tako!

I think he wanted to show something like this:

Bburago - MCA Centanaire

[ChanceHuncha]

Ok before we lose track of everything, here’s one to get us going again.

Mozambique - Matchedje X3

[ChanceHuncha]

Kosovo: Ditron Selmani’s home-made Lamborghini

[ChanceHuncha]

Jordan: Al-Washaq 4x4 ATV

[ChanceHuncha]

So it’s come to the point where the thread is slowly fading away and it’s becoming harder to find cars. Do you guys want me to soften up some rules to make things easier, or do you want to continue the way it is. You lemme know.

South Africa: BMW 2004

[Wendax]

Ethiopia: Holland DOCC

[ChanceHuncha]

I’ll accept the Ethiopian car but I cant do the South African one since BMW is a German company. I’ll let you try and find another South African car thats from a local brand since it’s not that hard. I’m surprised we missed South Africa!

[Wendax]

The BMW 2004 was only built in South Africa, a model not to be found elsewhere in the world.

[ChanceHuncha]

I do understand where you’re coming from, but the point of the game is to find a car/compny that is locally grown and made in that country. The 2004 may have only been sold in South Africa, and may have been sold out of a South African division of BMW, but all in all, BMW is German. It would be different if BMW was locally grown and started production in South Africa, but no. It’s just like how Renault produces cars in Ivory Coast, and Ford makes Production in Mexico, but when you hear ‘Renault’ and ‘Ford’ your first instinct is France and USA.

Like I said before, South Africa is super easy to find a locally made car. There are many home made vehicles and even some done by universities. It doesn’t have to be a production car, it just has to be a Car. And it has to be made originally in South Africa. I’m still gonna hold the country for you because you already made the effort of trying to find a car for that country, and I don’t wanna rip it from you and let someone else take it. So any South African car will do! If you struggle finding one just search one up here. We’ve been doing that mostly to conserve wasting cars as they could sometimes be good puzzles.
