I got that too, and I think I have a good idea about what it's based on, but I'm still stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carsntrucks4you Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 It seems that this was a though one. It build on a shortend Renault R4 chassis and a lot of R4 parts were used to build this odd looking car. It is a 1966 SOVAM 1100 VS. The correct answer were sent in by Pete J. dw1603 GeeBee DonW Congratulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonW Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Despite my comment in French it really wasn't easy despite knowing the oily bits came from Renault.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I got it rather quickly. The rims were the key. I remember seeing them on a few cars and thought that was a good place to start. I googled 3 lug rims and found the manufacturer and then did a search for Fiberglass Renault and bingo. Michael seems to have a vast catalog of these weird cars to draw from. I seem to have the best luck when I find a key recognizable feature and go from there. Most of the time though I run into a dead end. Nice one Michael!

Richard Bartrop Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I recognized the wheels from the Alpine, and I figured it had to be some kind of Renault. Oddly enough, I tried googling "Renault" and "fiberglass", and got nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw1603 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I recognised the wheels and the door handles but not the car. I found it the hard way, but once I got a head on view I knew it was a Sovam. If you think this is ugly you should search their commercial vehicles. Panel gaps you can walk through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
