wlaidlaw Posted February 14, 2016 Share #8366 Posted February 14, 2016 Looks a bit like a Falcon Ford 10 Special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoph_d Posted February 14, 2016 Share #8367 Posted February 14, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Wilson, The car in question is in many respects likely the exact opposite of what car enthusiasts have come to expect of a Falcon Ford 10 Special.

wlaidlaw Posted February 14, 2016 Share #8368 Posted February 14, 2016 Christoph, You mean it is not out-accelerated by an arthritic snail? That looks like a Porsche badge in the centre of the nose. I did think about a 550RSK, with its headlight covers removed but there is no side light in front of the headlight and the 550 also has an air intake for cooling the front brakes in the lower valance.

christoph_d Posted February 14, 2016 Share #8369 Posted February 14, 2016 Wilson, On the contrary, even the Ford would out-accelerate the car on the picture. The comparison with the Porsche many would think is sacrilegious. Christoph Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted February 14, 2016 Share #8370 Posted February 14, 2016 Is it a fairground car? Those lights! Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted February 14, 2016 Share #8371 Posted February 14, 2016 I think Wilson could be right, it has a number and a lot of scratches, so possibly a fairground autoscooter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoph_d Posted February 14, 2016 Share #8372 Posted February 14, 2016 Wilson, Ronald, The direction of your thinking is more like it. A few hints at this point: the vehicle in question can be found on the streets in at least five (sunny) cities in the US and the EU. A selective view from the side / back Welcome, dear visitor!

christoph_d Posted February 14, 2016 Share #8374 Posted February 14, 2016 Wilson, I have no idea if it is used for parking wardens. The five cities where you come across these vehicles in daily traffic, are San Francisco, San Diego, Barcelona, Madrid and Lisbon.

christoph_d Posted February 14, 2016 Share #8376 Posted February 14, 2016 Wilson, Correct! I came across these 3-wheeled, scooter engined, talking two seaters in Lisbon - the target of the next One Challenge in October 2016. I did not drive them, so cannot comment on acceleration, drive comfort etc. but from what I could observe... Welcome, dear visitor!
