Strange looking car, it kind of reminds me of a DeLorean DMC 12.

No, this was built by the owner because he didn't have enough money to buy a car, on the TV show "autofil" they asked if he wa going to build a second one and he' s going to do it if he has enough time

On the link with the video I asked him if he was going to build the second one, he replied saying he haven't had the time needed yet

Never heard, but interesting car.^^

It looks pretty much like a mixture between DeLorean and DeTomaso, but it is much, much lighter.

Did they built any other cars?

@mental

to be specific, he started building it in 68 and was done in 72 (can a member or admin change the introduction year to time he was finished?)

the only power tool used to build it was an electric 2 speed drill :P

Wow! That's pretty much impressive car! For 1968 it looks futuristic, nice design. As for tech, it is also interesting! That is powerful enough for its age, and the car is lightweight. It is pretty similar to the Porsche 901, the same power range, similar weight, even the engine is located at the rear, just like the Porsche! I believe it could be a very competitive sports car, if it was massively produced. And whether the car is custom, congrats and respect for its creator! Certainly, the best car that came from Norway ever!
