Gorgeous! I'm suprised I never saw this in any of the Tintin books.
-
Truely fantastic.!! Forget my current project, I want to build one of those! I assume its a one off?
-
I want one too. Best thing I have seen for a long time. Late 1930 do you think?
-
Stunning! Not just a rudder but an elevator/tailplane too - not that lifting the rear wheel off the ground seems like a very good idea.......
-
well we all seem to love it - god help us if we find it's 750cc and i.c. though :)
-
I must admit it would look better in light blue!
As a boy I did think about grafting an aeroplane body onto a car chassis.
Looking at the Maratuech, a small scale Spitfire fuselage on a doner chassis (reduced to one wheel at the back) could be popular. And a real Messershmitt look alike perhaps.
-
The Maratuech is a one-off. Bulit in 1922 by Fernand Maratuech. He built several types of machines all his life and has always dreamt of constructing a plane.
As he did not have the money to realize his dream, he built a plane without wings... Over the next ten years, he drove about 5000 km with this vehicule around his home town Villeneuve-sur-Lot!
-
Not quite as well executed.
-
Hmm, Zero points.
-
Maybe so, but the Panda seems quite exited.

The Maratuech looks fantastic, and yes, certainly worthy of being in a Tintin book. Would I like to drive down Kings Road, Chelsea in it?
Ohhhhh YES!
