This weeks car comes from down under, Australia. Some guess the country because of the sun visor of the car next to 1957-1959 Buckle Sports Coupe. It was a fibreglass bodied sports car which was produced from 1957 to 1959 . The 2-door coupe used a combination of used components from Ford Zephyr.

Here two pictues from this years show in Jabekke. More pictures here

Tim, try ebay with him and pay via PayPal. I never order kits via his Website. I had ordered several times models from him. Everytime I opened a case regarding delivery. After ebay that set the case he imediately answered. Close the case only when you got the model. The quility of dansmodels is awesome but his reputation as an reliable seller is nearly Zero.

We are not playing " Real or Model". It is definitly a real car that I get out of a sales brochure. So Keep on searching. I got the first answers

This time I ask you to for a Ford F1000 SR XR Deserter from Brazil. The F1000 was the brasilian derivative of the F150. This truck was build from 1979 - 1998. Beside the convetional Pickup there were some odd looking sedan like versions like this one. Next weeks matthijsgrit will present you a nee challenge.

This time I got more correct answer that last week. Congratulations to RogerU peteski otherunicorn ChrisR Deano matthijsgrit Ace-Garageguy sjordan2 DonW Bainford Earl Marischal dw1603

After the tough one last week I was looking for a Toyota Sports 800, This little sports car was build from 1965 - 1969

I had tried to make my own 19" and 21" Steelies. They are based on pictures from Detroit Steel Wheel catalog. I did them for the 19" (SPF2400002) and 21" (SPF240003) rims from Scale Productions. The have Ford and Chevrolet bolt pattern, like the original. They are for sale in my Shapeways Shop

That was the toughest quiz that we had since Harry P has started this quiz. Normally no hints were allowed but in this case I had to dive you some hints. With this hints 3 of you found the car in question. I know how hard it would be to sit there having no idea what it is, all searches gives you no result. It is boring. Congratulations to matthijsgrit ChrisR MAttBacon

I got the first correct answer. So go back to your favorite seach engine and try it again.

I had add a second picture.And it was build in a country that is know for their endemic prosimian (Animals) and adansonia digitata (trees). I hope that gives you a clue

I can see your frustrated faces about this car. Let me give you a hint. The car is designed and produced in Africa. That should be all that I can help you.

Otherwise it would be to easy

OMG this was tough. A ugly looking car, some photoshoping of the picture to eliminate hidden hints about country or language. I think next week you get something more mainstream. But what kind of car is this. It is a car that was build on the island of Madagascar. An island in the indian oecan close to Mozambik. The car is a 1985 - 1995 Karenjy Mazana.

Now I got it! Sent PM

If you think I have a weakness for brazilian cars I must say no. It was luck that I found this one. It is as I said a car that was build in Brazil between 1964 and 1966. It has some styling features that strong resemblance the Jensen Interceptor who entered the market in 1966 when the production of the Brasinca Uirapuru 4200GT ends. So has Jensen stole the design of the Interceptor from Brasinca or the other way round. Who cares. Next weeks challenge will be provide by our fellow member matthijs grit. I can't to see what car he pick as a challenge.

Sad to here that he passed away.

Well done mates dw1603 DonW Earl Marischal Ace-Garageguy otherunicorn Frank Iamsuperdan ChrisR W-409 Matt Bacon
