Topic: Djetset 695 Solved: Lamourette 50 - 1979

[Paul Jaray]

So they built just 1 model, derived from the puzzle car for less than 5 years...Suncar?

That's right, this is the only model they built and sold, but it was not the Suncar (which was a Renault 5-based roadster from memory).

[Wendax]

As far as I know, this is the only car model they built, but the business did remain actively involved in cars after the production of this vehicle ceased.

As a car dealer?

Yes, but a specialist one.

[Paul Jaray]

Puma?

[Djetset]

Not Puma.

For quite a long time I have been keeping a photo of a French microcar unknown to me. Is it related to our puzzle car?

[Djetset]

Ah ha!  The microcar in my puzzle is totally unrelated to the car in your photograph, but I do know what your 'mystery car' is.  I can PM you with more information on this car if you like?

[Wendax]

You can earn yourself a point!

Thank you Wendax, very kind.  An initial answer is on its way, with some more images and proof when I get home just before Christmas

Willam?

[Djetset]

Willam?

Not Willam.

[Paul Jaray]

Are we in the right direction naming known makers or is this quite obscure?

[Djetset]

The maker is quite obscure, although it did have a close association with a slightly larger make too.

Not too many small VSP makers not mentioned yet: Associated to Tomcar?

No, not AFAIK.

[Paul Jaray]

Let sum this up:
Built in limited production (in an improved form) for less than 5 years;
Not Acoma\Mini Comtesse, Addax, Bel-Motors, Cicostar, Delsaux, Difauto Minilux, Noval, GMT, Minicat, Puma, Rolt, Seab, Suncar, Vitrex, Willam.

It has to be KVS, linked to Rolux.

[Djetset]

Thanks, a good summary, but it's none of those listed, and not a KVS either. There are still a few makes not mentioned so far from this busy 'sans permis' era. Happy hunting!

Although I don't think so, any connection to Marden?

[Djetset]

Sorry but no Marden connection.

[Paul Jaray]

Simplicity?

[Wendax]

Any connection to Gateau?

[Djetset]

Not a Simplicity, but there is a connection to Gateau.

[Wendax]

In the early days of Gateau there was a microcar called Libellule, looking like an Acoma Comtesse Sport. Anything to do with it?

Sorry but no connection there.
