I guess that constitutes a correct answer:wiggle

my bad...

not a fifties favourite - one for the modernists...shouldn\'t take somebody very long. :WaveBye

MR2 with a shoddy bodykit?

jinx · July 06, 2013, 12:45:21 AM

no...but I won\'t tell them you said that

jinx · July 08, 2013, 12:10:18 PM

Oh dear. Another clue?

Evening jinx. Interesting challenge and a definite head scratcher!
However I think it is that rather unsuccessful sports car, the Breckland Beira?

jinx · July 10, 2013, 01:10:48 PM

Thank heavens for that...thought I\'d killed your thread.

Shame about the Beira, lots of press and promise but 2008 was so the wrong time to launch a new sports car with an LS2 engine...or rather - another new sports car with... :Hammer

Hats off to you. Me - coat on. :WaveBye

Yes, sorry I was a bit slow on that one - I\'ll try harder next time:D.

I\'m sure it seemed like a good idea at the time - but as you say timing was totally wrong. Hey ho, we all learn by our mistakes!

I hope you don\'t get too hot in that coat:)

Right, a complete car for a change.

Is it a DKW ?

Not a DKW Nigel - and not German.

"Not German" rather does for my guess of a Lloyd 400 which was only good as far forward as the A post anyway.

Never mind, the coat will keep me warm against the cold wind of failure.

Yes, very similar in looks to the Lloyd, but there is no connection that I am aware of.

Looks like this one has everyone stumped.
Some clues may therefore help:
Over 500,000 produced between 1957 and 1983 (yes I do mean 1983!)

Nice little Polish number... FSO Syrena 100
