What is this?
One point for the make and nationality.
I have very little information on this car.

This one is not so easy - moving it up a level now

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #2 on:** September 21, 2010, 04:55:10 PM »

Do you have its name?

woodinsight · « **Reply #3 on:** September 21, 2010, 05:18:50 PM »

Yes I do but the builder is unknown and the year only approximate.
I have another view taken from the rear that i will post in due course.

PM sent.

French reg., so assume it is French-built..
Renault engine?

woodinsight · « **Reply #6 on:** September 23, 2010, 11:07:01 AM »

Yes it is French.
Discussed it with PJ and we decided that the name I have may not be the name of the car but where it was built.
Anyhow, one point if you come up with the name I have and another point if full details can be provided - name, builder, base and year, etc.
Another view -

Built in the early seventies near Laval. So in French lets call it "La Laval"

woodinsight · « **Reply #8 on:** September 23, 2010, 12:02:16 PM »

That is the only name I have so one point for you Amsterdam.
I'm going to promote it and leave it open in case the pros can provide fuller details.

it looks like pre version of Jimenez

woodinsight · « **Reply #10 on:** September 23, 2010, 01:20:28 PM »

It certainly looks to be well-built - I wonder what it was based on and where the parts came from?

woodinsight · « **Reply #11 on:** October 03, 2010, 05:11:59 PM »

I'm going to place this one in the Black Hole until someone can come up with the name of the builder, name of the car and the year.

Djetset · « **Reply #12 on:** October 05, 2010, 09:23:32 AM »

Can't add much more about this car, except to say that all the glass and roof section is taken from the (rare) Alpine GT4.

woodinsight · « **Reply #13 on:** October 05, 2010, 09:50:47 AM »

Interesting Djetset - I hadn't thought to look at that aspect.
Hopefully one day we'll know the story behind it.

woodinsight · « **Reply #14 on:** October 11, 2010, 06:59:27 AM »

On second thoughts, I'm going to put this back in the Pros section.
It still needs to be solved but the Black Hole is probably too 'out of the way'

DynaMike · « **Reply #15 on:** October 11, 2010, 11:56:49 AM »

I have no idea what this might be, but the taillights come from an early Peugeot 504 Coupé or Cabriolet.

(daft comment removed - I seem to have lost that new 'Remove' button again!!)

Daft comments are always welcomed as well as the other type.
Sometimes we can be too serious on these forums.

woodinsight · « **Reply #18 on:** December 03, 2010, 02:09:02 PM »

I think we are all agreed that we don't know who built this car at the moment - so into the BH until someone knows more.

woodinsight · « **Reply #19 on:** September 17, 2011, 03:15:20 AM »

I'm wondering if any of our new members have the answer to this one?
It's a two point puzzle (Black Hole)

Djetset · « **Reply #20 on:** September 20, 2011, 06:03:36 PM »

Could this be a coupe made by Maurice Gagniere?

Although the front is similar the remainder is quite different.
Perhaps he built two cars?

The only photo I have (very poor) of the Gagniere is shown below -

Carnut · « **Reply #22 on:** July 20, 2012, 05:20:27 AM »

Looks vaguely (but only vaguely!) similar to this Barzoi prototype:

woodinsight · « **Reply #23 on:** August 18, 2012, 04:23:34 PM »

One point that comes to mind on the puzzle car - does anyone recognise the windscreen/side windows on the car - it may give an idea what it was based on?

Wendax · « **Reply #24 on:** August 18, 2012, 05:27:59 PM »

Djetset had identified it before:
