Who created the Spyder GT kit?
« on: March 02, 2025, 04:39:28 PM »
Four unknown cars for me...Anyone knows what this is?
Thanks.
I don't know any of these cars, but I can give a little help for the second one: the "H" at the end of the license plate (= historic vehicle license) shows that the car has to be older than 30 years.

This car is not a one-off. I've been storing some pictures of a second unfinished one in my folders for almost two years when they appeared in an online ad. The first picture has a pseudo plate photoshopped into it reading EB-Prototyp. EB might be the initials of the builder, but can also just be an abbreviation for Eigenbau.

Thanks for this information, fromwien. But I have my doubts that the puzzle is solved. It looks to me that Alex Riedel built these three cars from kits but did not create the kit. As we know by my quite recent pictures of the unfinished kit it was not a one-off. I'd like to move it back to the (now partly) unidentified cars thread for identifying the kit company.
