SOLVED: Djetset 816 - Serra Seat 124 Coupe, 1974
« on: February 21, 2017, 02:41:27 PM »
Straight to the Pros for this one, but open to all Puzzlers, as I know what the base car is, and where this was launched, but I don't know who made it!

So, for a point, please tell me the vehicle base and who built it, with some proof for the latter please  ;) .

Zagato Zele in the background: Was the puzzle car built around 1973 based on an Italian car?

The base car is European, and although I don't know who modified it, I suspect it was European too.

I thought that too, but no Lincoln connection that I know of.

That is indeed a Zele in the background, but the year is one year later than 1973, and the base caf does have a strong Italian connection.

Perfect. Well done Thorax, I thought it was a Serra modification, but I couldn't find any confirmation of this... until now! A well-deservdd point to you. The Puzzle photo was taken at thr 1974 Barcelona Show.

This must have been the 1973 inspiring example for the Serra:
