Rona!d Posted February 9, 2011 Share #723 Posted February 9, 2011 Sorry, both wrong. Here another detail: Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted February 9, 2011 Share #724 Posted February 9, 2011 I believe we are looking down on the brake light, numbers plate holder and spare, and it might be a three wheeeler, though I doubt if it's a Morgan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxBob Posted February 9, 2011 Share #725 Posted February 9, 2011 The original photo made me assume three wheeler, especially and then bubble/micro car because of what I assumed was a small spare wheel. but could this be a racing tail on something that is a bit home made, somewhat older or a bit of both. Modern wheel seemingly on the second photo with low profile tire but everything else looks as though it could have been put together by me on a day with a hangover. So could it be something a bit racingy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are on the right track, but I doubt you would design and build this on just one day with a hangover Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuxBob Posted February 9, 2011 Share #730 Posted February 9, 2011 Even though I have less idea than Bill, I see a Metzeler tire - motorbike tire. Could this be a modern tire on an older vehicle? Perhaps not, I have just googled Bill's Torq Ev and it makes sense, except this seems to be something older. If Bill is wrong could this be a mating of a Tatra with a Fuldacar?

Rona!d Posted February 9, 2011 Share #731 Posted February 9, 2011 It could easily be a "modern" motorcycle tyre, but the vehicle is old. OK, another hint: The cockpit could be called a greatgrandfather of modern racecar cockpits, see attached picture. Forget Tatra and Fuldacar. Welcome, dear visitor!

LuxBob Posted February 10, 2011 Share #732 Posted February 10, 2011 I thought that looked surprisingly like an old time aircraft set up but then no yoke and no rudder pedals so no. But on a closer look that steering wheel could be a control column and there could be a couple of rudder pedals, one of which is hidden. Is this an early flying car?

Rona!d Posted February 10, 2011 Share #733 Posted February 10, 2011 Bob, no it´s not an early flying car, although it looks like a May beetle, when the "pilot" opens the doors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuxBob Posted February 10, 2011 Share #735 Posted February 10, 2011 I have no idea but it seems to have a narrow track and to be an aluminium (aluminum) body over a metal frame. It is the sort of thing me and my friends would have been proud of when we were restoring cars of what I guess is this vintage a few years back. But it would seem that it has a brand name. The pedal layout is traditional, gear lever on the left, so Britishish? I'm floundering but sometimes one's complete loss can suddenly find a lead.

Rona!d Posted February 10, 2011 Share #736 Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Mmmh, i posted the "key visuals" of that machine, now I can only help you with words or the complete photo of it. It´s not british, although it was a small but known brand and has a JAP engine. It was ment to become a kind of peoples (race) car, but people didn´t understand what it really was, I fear. This particular car is a kind of prototype though, but one of the most famous cars of that maker. Edited February 10, 2011 by Rona|d Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted February 13, 2011 Share #737 Posted February 13, 2011 Nobody? Ok, another detail. The radiator grill is said to be the face of a car. Welcome, dear visitor!

Rona!d Posted February 14, 2011 Share #738 Posted February 14, 2011 They also made some micro race cars with partly innovative and creative detail solutions, like interesting steering systems etc.. Small german company, maybe better known for their motorcycles. Any suggestions, gentlemen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted February 15, 2011 Share #740 Posted February 15, 2011 Ronald - Are you certain this isn't the helmet worn by the Loonie Tunes character, Marvin the Martian? I think if nobody gets if from this one you should tell us what it is, and then post a photo of another car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
