    The Troll Car... simply because thats the only descent attempt in history to make a car in norway.. It would have been nice to have a norwegian car on the market.. the brits have loads of nice once for ex. *envy*
    The troll car tryed to reach serial production in the 1950`s but it was strangled by the government in some turns.. but some history about it you can find here...
    Not to interesting though And in norwegian..

    Here are some very "nice" pics:

    So take a Lotus or a Renualt - that's where John got all his "technology"
    Matra/Alpine - Sportscars and supercars, completly driver oriented, no gizmos, just chassis and engine, pure driving/track day cars
    Just my two cents
    I'll double that.

    Troll-bilen var det første virkelige forsøket på å sette igang en storstilt bilproduksjon i Norge
    etc...
    etc...
    Til sammen ble det levert 5 ferdige biler fra fabrikken, inkludert prototypen.
    Lol! Så mykke før den norske bilproduksjonen! (bettre en finland dock)
    Naah, I think it's a cool car from many aspects though.

    I guess it's a better idea than naming them "troll cars"?
