I've checked my source, and the current owner of the puzzle car is indeed called Jean -----, but he's not the builder.

I've found more than 25 different pictures and a few videos, with no names. I've seen an interview with the builder, he said that he used 2 CV (engine), Mehari (gearbox) and Duport (basis) parts.

Great find, unfortunately the builder's name isn't mentioned in the video indeed.

Keep finding photos.

According to a recent TV feature on arte, its current owner is Jean Meyer.

... its current owner is Jean Meyer.

A collector of wacky Citroen vehicles, including these:

As Meyer seems to like giving his cars funny names, the red one is called Ferrarire = Ferrari + rire (laugh), it was probably him who added the Meharikiki = Méhari + rikiki (tiny) name to the puzzle car.

Yes, my source also mentions him, but that's still not the builder's name !

I'll give it a shot. based of course on Oguerrerob findings.
I found the car under Méharikiki name and possibly modified by "ElDoctor"
This is 1990s Duport Onyx made only 20 units by a rich owner Guy Duport and modified to look more like it's source inspiration, Mehari of course

Docteur Jean Meyer used to be a psychiatrist.

This one needs to be solved. The builder's name is B-l---. Find the 4 missing letters !

Wendax · « **Reply #62 on:** January 05, 2020, 08:42:33 AM »

Baloux?

oko94 · « **Reply #63 on:** January 05, 2020, 09:38:39 AM »

You got one letter right but at the wrong position.

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #64 on:** January 05, 2020, 09:56:07 AM »

Something like Bolles?

oko94 · « **Reply #65 on:** January 05, 2020, 10:11:55 AM »

Almost. You got 3 letters right, one in the right position.
