New to Tas , spotted today , possibly the only one in Oz? Owner has emigrated from France but was off somewhere so I didn't meet him .

Panhard. Quirky , interesting , "lived in". It's rare to see a concours French car in Tas , they certainly don't like to wash.

This beauty has a three wheel design with rear wheel steering and front wheel drive, a 20' long body, and a highly aerodynamic design. Success of the design was realized in its performance efficiencies: the car could transport up to 11 passengers, reach speeds of up to 90 miles per hour, and ran 30 miles per gallon.  What was it?  Bonus points if you can name the inventor!

Rear wheel steering!!! :o  This is what happens when architects think they can design cars.

"He described the vehicle as an “omni-medium transport,” with room for 11, which, had it ever been tested, would probably have counted as mass murder."

"probably the best and fastest TR7 in Australia" does such a thing exist? are they not mutually exclusive?

I've finally got something to contribute that I saw out and about on a walk (i did post it on another forum, but no cheating!)
