I knew it looked familiar! The Claot Citroën was one of my puzzles... ;)

Indeed, and it was the best picture I could find!

It looks like a Riley RMA to me, built from 1945 to 1952.

Thanks, hopefully it is a Riley RMA - the only problem now is that there were hardly any Riley cars in Hungary. There's a story somewhere there

The first one:

Chameleon Entreprise F-16. (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=4195.0)

Please post anything You have and You know. Thank You !

Arunas,


Enterprise (GB) 1983-84
Chameleon Car Co, South Kensington, London
Coming from a company whose main trade was customising Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz models, the Enterprise F16 was an extremely bold attempt to revolutionise luxury saloon car motoring. Over a tubular space frame chassis, its aerodynamic 4-door bodywork was in Kevlar - the first 'production' car to use this material exclusively - and featured photo-electric cells in the roof to absorb sunlight to charge the battery. A sophisticated specification included Ferguson 4-wheel drive, ABS and a turbocharged V8 engine. After a showing at the 1983 Geneva Motor Show, a price of 42,000 pounds was announced but production never began.

I don't know if anyone can help me with this but.

I am looking for a car that i saw it was a modern day version of a fiat jolly it had all the elements of a jolly the roof everything. I am pretty sure it wasn't a  castagna fiat. I am not sure if it was modern fiat based or not. All I remember was that it was modern it was grey in color it had a roof and the picture I saw it looked like the car was at sometype of show the cars front was pointing towards the left of the screen. i would defintely recognize it if i saw it again. If anyone can help me.

Unfortunately I haven't seen this one before, so just some thoughts from me. At first sight one is tempted to say that it is another VW Kübelwagen based private one-off, but the wheels don't look VW to me. What I can't really identify is the bulge above the license plate. Is there a single headlight or just a sign? Is it an air intake for a front engine? The round objects besides the license plate look like horns. It seems as if the windscreen wiper axles go through the glass what is quite uncommon on German cars. For the year the picture was taken I would think of 1951/52 going by the VWs, the Fiat 1400 Cabriolet and the license plates. The location probably in the Southwestern part of Germany, as the (hard to identify) first letters on the plate don't look like AB for Bavaria.

Thanks Wendax - some interesting thoughts there.
Unfortunately I can't remember where I'd downloaded this photo from :'(

I tried to enhance and enlarge it but with mixed results -
