r000 one 19XX of the large Make number of Model vehicles named for the initials of its creator,
estimate: $000 000 - $000 000
this delightful little roadster was the work of one Francisco Gomez
offered without reserve
Lopez, of almoradi (alicante), Spain. With a diploma in mechanical
and electrical engineering, he ran a small service and repair shop.
Construction began in February 1958, with the creation of a tubular
frame, onto which were fitted a number of components from other
readily available makes, such as Peugeot and Ford. a year later, a
motor from the firm IRESa (Industrias Reunidas Espanolas Sa) was
fitted. The beautifully proportioned roadster body was fabricated in
alicante during this time.
Permits and paperwork for licensing the car took two years to acquire,
but the car was finally legal on February 14, 1961. It remained in
the family for the next 15 years. By 1977, it was being used by the
nephew and was sold to D. Francisco Espanoza Mora, a used car
dealer in town.
It was restored and made its debut at the eighth Trobada Internacional
de Microcotxes de Manresa, held in 2001. Mr. Weiner purchased the
car, and it made its way across the ocean to become a star exhibit at
the museum.
