Identify what this is and who made it for one point. I don't know much about it so anyone that can provide more information about the story behind it will earn a point too.

It don't appears to me like there are any active Rookies anymore so I'll move it up to experts.

Do we know its nationality - is it European?

galrot · « **Reply #3 on:** September 17, 2017, 06:45:02 PM »

I know approximately year, which country it comes from, who is thought to have built it and what it is built on/with.

It is European.

Made in Norway ?

galrot · « **Reply #8 on:** September 25, 2017, 08:06:06 AM »

I had hoped that part would take longer to guess, but yes.

Can it be found online ?

galrot · « **Reply #10 on:** October 05, 2017, 06:41:35 AM »

Yes.

Was it built before 1960 ?

galrot · « **Reply #12 on:** October 05, 2017, 06:48:55 AM »

Yes.

oko94 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 05, 2017, 07:01:51 AM »

Was it built after 1955 ?

galrot · « **Reply #14 on:** October 05, 2017, 07:03:07 AM »

oko94 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 05, 2017, 07:10:43 AM »

Was it built in 1954 ?

galrot · « **Reply #16 on:** October 05, 2017, 07:16:24 AM »

I don't know the exact year, just that it was built in the early '50s. So around 1950 to 1953 I would guess.

oko94 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 05, 2017, 07:45:26 AM »

Home-made or built by a coachbuilder ?

galrot · « **Reply #18 on:** October 05, 2017, 07:47:34 AM »

Not homemade.

Made by Troll?

You answer is intriguing. Why didn't you answer "Made by a coachbuilder" ? Does it mean that it wasn't built by a coachbuilder, or am I just splitting hairs ?

galrot · « **Reply #22 on:** October 06, 2017, 10:23:45 AM »

I guess they were technically coachbuilders given that they made some bodies on mass-produced chassis, but I'm not sure they ever had any coachbuilder badges or consider themselves to be a coachbuilder.

oko94 · « **Reply #23 on:** October 06, 2017, 10:45:28 AM »

Alright, thanks for the clarification.
