Well here's one for the experts.
(Warning: trick question!) http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171660212.jpg |
Well the body shell is/was Fiat 500, but it has been modded a bit with the flares,wheels,grille etc, How about STEYR PUCH?
|
A Steyr Puch it is!
Built in Austria. The distinctive emblem on the front gives this away. You guys are too good. |
My Steyr is a GB and it takes 18 nine MM rounds........
Interesting little car..... |
Found a pic of the Steyr Puch engine .They didnt use the Fiat twin ,but a flat twin of there own ,wouldnt be suprised if it had some BMW motorbike heritage. This one was 817cc ,but I see they went as much as 950. The car had some competition success
Monte Carlo Rally, If I remember. I had a Fiat 500 about 40 odd years ago--lot of fun. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171663794.jpg |
Found this-aint Google great! All in German but the name Zazada
features a bit. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171664404.jpg |

They're fantastic little cars - much better than the original Fiats - built by the Austrian arms manufacturers. Today they are very collectible - have become cult cars because of their durability etc. Very cool. I bought one in the late seventies and spent six months trashing it around Europe before selling it at a profit. |
Door and hood latch are a give away as to what it's based on.
Opps, forgot the photo. see next post. |

Okay, here's another one. Besides the obvious "what is it", what was it's mechanical claim to fame?
Bonus points: Who was the engine manufacturer for this car? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171684198.jpg |
I'm thinking DAF or Simca on the yellow car.
|
Dottore,that yellow thing is indeed a Bond Equip GT --built on Triumph Herald bits.

Salmson,I reckon, but who made the engine?Salmson had a Dynastart thing out the front ,but I cant see it in the pic.
and they were twin cam. Motor may have been French. I may be totally wrong--I should get a life!! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171685040.jpg |
Bob, it's not a Salmson. It's a very British car, but not one made by the British division of the French Salmson company.
And it's engine came from another country altogether. And hey, I need a life as well. |
