Car Stories

Below is a very rare car



Its creator planed to build thousands but only ever produced 10.

The reason?. It was shockingly bad !!!.

  • It weighed 2 tons ,
  • Had a tiny tiny 34bhp 1550cc Austin engine
  • Very very poor brakes.
  • If you got a puncture, You needed to remove the whole of the rear transmission and back axle just to get the back wheels off!


After the company failed the remaining parts were all dumped into a nearby lake (below )



Your task ---Post GE Shot

good luck

The colour of the car and the balloons in the parade should give you a lead to which country

I could only come up with a near resemblance, one that farce might like.

At first I searched in the wrong country too: green, palmtrees -> tequila!
But then, the clue led to to somewhere else, here ....
