This car purchase 100% fits with this statement.

Made by a real car manufacturer, a boutique car manufacturer, or a kit/movie/custom car manufacturer?

It's definitely in the #2 category here, but some might claim #3 category too.

Brought my own trailer. Drove to Mammoth Lakes, stayed there overnight, went to Reno Saturday morning, grabbed the car, hit the museum on the way back, and then headed back to Mammoth...

Two - flatbed *and* enclosed. We used the enclosed one this time (gives a clue as to the size).

That would be cool, but no, it's not one of those. This is quite far away from that...

Sort of a unicorn combo of good+bad in automotive design.

Not an MGC, but your second comment is applicable!

That would be nice - I already have that green RSR clone though. This one cost about 2-3% (guessing) of a real RSR...

Yup, good clones are not even that inexpensive any more these days!

Myers Manx dune buggy?

herr_oberst 12-15-2025 09:59 AM

I've narrowed it down to the Renault Dauphine Gordini coupe.

Mercedes 170H

Not really. Hmm, I don't think that's too close...
