Is it based on a Citroen 2CV or Merhari?

oko94 · « **Reply #5 on:** July 17, 2018, 04:27:31 PM »

Not a Duport Onyx. Not soviet. There are Citroën parts in it but it's not actually based on a Citroën model.

Maybe you are looking for S.N.D. Onyx of 1993

oko94 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 17, 2018, 05:34:54 PM »

Not an Onyx of any kind.

Paranoid about head-on crashes, Louis made sure he could drive his car from the back seat.

Notwithstanding the joke, this is well spotted and should give an idea of the size of this car.

This really is a puzzler. Those look like Citroen wheels, but I can't recall any Citroen having such small wheels. Is it a specially-made children's car?

oko94 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 21, 2018, 10:35:37 AM »

It is indeed a scaled-down Mehari, but not for children. Wheels are not Citroën units but were sourced from a well-known vehicle.

The hard part is to find who built it.

Pros ?

Renault 4 wheels?

oko94 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 02, 2018, 05:17:35 AM »

No. The puzzle car is too small to fit Renault 4 wheels.

Mario Malzkorn Kit Cars El Cid ?

oko94 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 02, 2018, 05:51:03 AM »

No. The puzzle car is smaller than a Mehari. It's not a Mehari replica.

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #17 on:** August 02, 2018, 06:20:13 AM »

Built in France?

Built over a Mini?

oko94 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 02, 2018, 09:10:33 AM »

Chassis is bespoke. No Mini elements AFAIK.

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #21 on:** August 02, 2018, 09:15:33 AM »

I've found one called Mini Mehari that has 1958 125cc Vespa Acma engine built in 1970

oko94 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 02, 2018, 09:26:31 AM »

The puzzle car hasn't got a Vespa engine.

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #23 on:** August 03, 2018, 04:04:07 AM »

Electric engine?
