now a look into the photo section shows a colour pic of the controversal T38/43, that
ran in this forum sometime ago. the "galle" styled body really looks stuning.

great car indeed

Due to the sun / shade contrast the car can hardly be appreciated.

But; why is it standing on blocks??

Maybe the owner has a large beer belly and cannot fit easily underneath? :lol: The presence of a carpet to lie on does give a clue !

Simple:

You have several types of car elevators. Most common is the twin column elevator, or the 4 column elevator. There is also the "french elevator", which basicly is a hole in the ground.

Above example is a "Turkish elevator". Where I live, I see them all the time, but usally with Volkswagen Golfs on them...

I think it is the argentinian way to check the unterside.
The bodystyle and the car is probably the same as the unknown T43 from an topic a year ago. Have a look at the drawing at the unknown chassisnumbers T43.

Greetz,

Does anyone have more pictures of the coachwork -- side or rear 3/4 view or front/rear interior? Irregardless if replica or not, it is unique looking and hopefully someone photo documents upcoming and shares.

I guess so.

I can imagine the English one looks very heavy, cast iron, and has a bracket for about anything. The motor on a bracket, the power line on brackets on the motor, etc etc etc. It breaks down often, replacements are cheap, but replacing the broken item can take ages.

I imagine the German one, for which you will have to fill out forms (10 fold of course)every time you use it. everything is engineered, there is a folder full of drawings and calculations for every part of the machine, and all parts are tested at least twice before being mounted. It always works, but if it ever breaks down, replacement parts cost a fortune. And replacing the part means you have to demolish some other parts, which also need replacing then.

The car at some time claimed the chassis 43202, it is though an (almost?) full replica.

Has any more information (and additional pictures) appeared of this since first discussed?
