Hi,

We have a photo of a 1950s VW/Porsche type car photographed in cca 1961 France, which we have been asked to identify. So far none of our experts have been able to nail it. Any ideas?? Alternatively, if this is the wrong section, could some please advise where I should post it.

Hi Folks,

Allemano has suggested that this may be a good place to post a request for identification. We have a photo of a 1950s VW/Porsche type car photographed in cca 1961 France, which we have been asked to identify. So far none of our experts have been able to nail it. Any ideas??

It has a Swiss number plate, from Luzern.

Who can identify this car?? It should be a Fiat... but that's all I have. The picture is from 1950.

beutler?

Thanks. It was one of the companies I had considered but could not find a match. Now you have made me look deeper, although no match, there are certain characteristics that occur. Beutler were coach builders so could be a one-off. The rear louvers are horizontal so this could a Volkswagen derivative rather than a Porsche. Any other thoughts much appreciated. Regards

I'm sure at least 1 of you knows.
I'd like to post it as a puzzle but I don't know the answer.
I suspect it's not that hard (I know where it comes from and the subject is quite ...covered...) and if you know it, I'll make a puzzle out of it.

I found this image on a web site discussing Roberto Chiappini. The poor Google translation seems to indicate this car was based on a Fiat 850 Spyder. Has it been puzzled before? Does anyone know the full name of this car?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #784 on:** September 07, 2013, 05:08:38 PM »

Not as a puzzle, we had it here:

Lampra by Giunsella.

Thank you, PJ. I added the info I found to the other thread.

I am not 100% sure but by looking at the car picture I think the car is of Imperial company.If you think I am right do reply me as I also want to make sure myself.

Merged

Built in the US in 1936 I think, but by whom?

What are those radiators from?

Thanks!

Another merge

Wendax · « **Reply #790 on:** September 16, 2013, 01:38:34 PM »

According to the Standard Catalogue this car was built in 1935 by Allen M. Hoppe and Allyn F. Streur (or Streut) from Hollywood. Perhaps one E.F. Hunter Jr. was involved, too. A six-cylinder of unknown origin was used.

Allemano · « **Reply #791 on:** October 02, 2013, 06:12:59 AM »

I received an email from a friend this morning. He asked me if I know this car. A friend from Japan requested him to help and that's what he told him:
It's probably a car which was sold in low numbers in France with VW engine. Not a Devin. Apparently the car on the pic was exported to Japan, that's all he knows!

Very scarce details, but dammit we are the best mystery-car-community in the world!

Allemano · « **Reply #792 on:** October 08, 2013, 09:01:39 AM »

Noone knows it?

Maybe any idea?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #793 on:** October 08, 2013, 09:38:41 AM »

This was my 1st thought when I saw it:

http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=19935.msg203532#msg203532

...but they seems to be quite different.

Allemano · « **Reply #794 on:** October 08, 2013, 09:52:28 AM »

yea it's quite different.. $:-\$
My first idea was Intermeccanica Imp, but that's different in many details also...

thank you anyway.

rosenbergm · « **Reply #795 on:** October 08, 2013, 11:31:43 PM »

does anyone have any idea what this is the only info I have is that the car is in egypt

DeAutogids · « **Reply #796 on:** October 09, 2013, 10:11:56 AM »

Egy-Tech would make a good first guess. Google it. You will find an Egyption made 3-wheeler. This might've been a prototype?

Who can identify this car?

Carnut · « **Reply #798 on:** October 11, 2013, 06:19:56 AM »

Not me. It looks VW-based though.
Perhaps a scrapyard is the best place for it..!

But what's an Opel GT doing in a scrapyard? How could they?!

Carnut · « **Reply #799 on:** October 11, 2013, 11:35:44 AM »

Anyone know what this is?:

If anyone can identify it perhaps they could PM me, then I will post it as a puzzle.
