Matt Bacon Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Apologies for the slightly ahead of time launch, but I have a tight schedule first thing Monday... Usual rules apply: no reverse image lookup, no clues in your comments, PM to me with your answer, contest results posted first thing Saturday morning my time (UK) to give our American friends all of Friday for last-minute under the wire entries! Have at this: And the answer is 1959-64 Citroen Bijou, a unique take on the 2CV for the UK market, made at Citroen's plant in Slough. Not hugely successful mostly because it was rather more expensive than better equipped and larger rivals from Ford and Vauxhall, and indeed, a Mini... Good luck, everyone! All the best, M.

matthijsgrit Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Almost forgot about this simply beautiful car!
carsntrucks4you Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Now I got it. PM sent Edited January 8, 2018 by carsntrucks4you
otherunicorn Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 I've never seen one before, but looking at it, it was fairly obvious as to what it had to be.
DonW Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 From the sublime to the lime! Thanks Matt, an interesting one. -Don.
W-409 Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 I hate to say it, but I'm absolutely clueless on this one. I've never seen anything like that, so interesting to see what it really is. All I know is that it's not pretty.

Pete J. Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Ok, I didn't get that one. I wasn't even on the right continent! I spent all my time searching Japan. It is very reminiscent of several Nissan/Datsun domestic models. Nice pick. I would have never thought to look to France for this one.

I also thought it looked very Japanese, but that stance could belong to one thing only - a Citroen 2CV.

Earl Marischal Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 That's the second car that has been used in this competition that was built in my home town of Slough, UK! steve ?
Matt Bacon Posted January 14, 2018 Author Posted January 14, 2018 I must confess, I went to some trouble to remove the distinctive UK shaped number plate from the picture, because I thought with the general look, fender mirrors and RH drive, Japan would be a handy distraction! ;-P best, M.
W-409 Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 At least I was in the correct country as I was searching for Renaults and other French cars....
