It's not the country where the car was built, to has a close relationship with Austria, but something else that is being asked for..

The phrasing here is a tad awkward. So to clarify for everyone, you're saying that one of these four things is closely related to Austria, correct?

Make
Type
Race category
Year

If so, is the race category closely related to Austria?

Exactly

is the category the Austro Vau?

fromwien · « **Reply #30 on:** November 27, 2024, 07:38:10 AM »

No, 'Vau's' and 'Vee's' are German Volkswagen-Beetle based

Is it a Prinoth Formel Baby Junior ?

fromwien · « **Reply #32 on:** November 27, 2024, 08:34:11 AM »

Well found! It is a 'Formel Baby Junior 500'. But not a Prinoth
LOCKED for you for three attempts to find make and year

OK. I established it was that formula because of the Puch connection. I have found very little information about the formula apart from the Italian Prinoth , so this may take some time..........

Please take your time
I feel happy, the hint worked

The only Austrian car I can find is the eigenbau of Willi Kozuborsky.

fromwien · « **Reply #36 on:** November 27, 2024, 09:18:04 AM »

Not that

I didn't read all the posts! You said it was not Austrian, so is it an Italian car fitted with a Puch engine?

PS all the internet gives me is baby food!

fromwien · « **Reply #40 on:** November 27, 2024, 04:54:03 PM »

It is an Italian car, not fitted with a Puch engine
One more trial for you

nicanary · « **Reply #41 on:** November 27, 2024, 05:03:27 PM »

This is confusing. I thought there was an Austrian connection. I shall have to investigate further. Thank you for the extra attempt.

fromwien · « **Reply #42 on:** November 27, 2024, 05:19:05 PM »

Austrian connection:
There were national Italian and (later) national Austrian 'Formula Baby Junior' regulations
Both national regulations specify that the 500cc engines must be Fiat, Autobianchi or Steyr-Puch

Thank you for all your help and hints. I hadn't heard of this formula until I joined AP, and information is difficult to find on the internet. It's not something covered by UK books and magazines.

I think it is best if you unlock the puzzle - I think it will be solved very quickly now.

fromwien · « **Reply #44 on:** November 28, 2024, 05:41:40 AM »

I know, informations about this formula are very scarce to find, ideal for an article in 'Rare and Unique Vehicles'-magazine?

OK, this puzzle is OPEN for all again

Agosti ?

As you have guessed, I've found a few Italian makes which built Baby Junior as well as Formula 850.

Fagioli ?
