WE HAVE UNDERSTOOD

After repeated customer complaints, that our imported cars have not been sufficiently adapted to the local requirements, like gasoline, we have finally talked more to the manufactors and are able to deliver all Primus, Burgwart, and - newly BAAS - with engines running on unleaded gasoline.

For 1952, we present you an interessing machine made by BAAS in Daalbeck. The model 3 refers to the three cylinders. Despite being in the one-liter-class, the aviaton genes of BAAS make this car a performer. With excellent aerodynamics and light aluminum body, this ground-plane surely sets the standard in economy and performance for the 1000ccm crowd.



Primus gained a reputation for lousy trim level. Their new allround sedan, the Publica, will clean up with this prejudgement. For Velkarja, it comes in the 15L trim. Meaning, base model, base trim - but four-speed gearbox and reverse lights, otherwise part of the DeLuxe, are equipped for no extra fees. Other than that, the Publica is a car in the best sense, with modest but sufficient power, impressive durability and competetive pricing, and will operate even in worst road conditions, thanks to a reinforced frame and two solid axles, that still offer drivability and comfort thanks to a refined suspension geometry and quality improvements. Hetvesian taxi companies are already standing in a queque at Primus dealers to prove it is as robust as it looks. Please note: Two-tone-paint is not included in the base price and comes at extra cost.



For those that are a bit more equal than others, we even went as far as Frunia to bring you an excellent vehicle. Sure, it is expensive to own and operate, but, a shape like a sculpture from Leonardo di Viniculo, an inline 6 with an opera singer voice like Rico Carussello, and only the finest handcrafted materials inside. Large trunk to fit bodies with concrete feet, and… oh, we better not copy texts from the original frunian brochure for their target audience.



Last but not least, we as import company have developed something on our own.

An 125ccm scooter mobile, aimed at seniors, war veterans with disabilities or juveniles without a driving license. It is tax-free, just needs a scooter license, and is capable of 60 kph. A proposal to your country how to secure basic mobility for everyone.



PHILLIPPS. You bring cash, we bring motion.

Max 3 brands throughout the whole challenge series, so you have to decide for if you want to keep the Cavaliere or the BAAS here.

as the whole point of me taking part here is annoying you with BAAS and waiting for you to rant about them, I will then dump the cavaliere for something else.

I just want to make sure I’m submitting my creations correctly, should I make them under the SANDBOX company and make no alterations to the TP or should I set it to a company in Fruinia (which has no offset)?

Sandbox and then max 3.2M techpool without offset

After struggles with buerocracy, we could not import Cavaliere Nobile. We suspect that a competitor lobbyed against us so our superior offerings will not threaten them!

Anyway, our good relations to Burgwart in Schuffental, East Hetvesia, have granted us the permit to sell their new midsize, the Victoria.

Yes, it is also in the 1,5 liter class, so it competes with the Primus we have in stock. But, these cars are so profoundly different, that hardly any Primus buyer would consider an RWD flunder like this. The Victoria dates back on a prototype from 1938, but after the war, the engineers at Burgwart started again at 1948 to overwork the 10 year old design, giving it the refinement it deserves. Sporty handling, generous accomodation, and two trunks (one in the front, and a compartment below the rear window) and aerodynamic shape are offered here. While the Primus is also roomy, but far more conservative and capable of harsh environments.

As I have understood it, this.

Due to a broken computer and some other stuff causing trouble for me, making it hard to do some of the prepwork for this, I decided on a small deadline extension. Old deadline was the 28th, new deadline 31st.

Paige Custom DeLuxe Sedan

Paige’s first domestic postwar design appeared in the United states in 1948 as a 1949 model, with a long and low aviation-inspired design, greatly contrasting with more upright pre-war designs.

Although Paige is not a luxurious brand, it was exported to Velkarja exclusively in range-topping Custom DeLuxe form, with the goal of finding a niche as a large and luxurious family car in the context of the Velkarjan market.


Paige 100 Sedan

Introduced to Velkarja shortly after the initial US imports, the 100 was TURBOL’s targeted attempt to break into small emerging markets. A robust and simple design, it was intended to be easy to produce in CKD kits or via licensing with local producers, where it would give Paige an important foothold in both emerging markets and markets with a taste for very small cars. Since there was at this time no incentive for local production, Velkarja’s initial supply of 100s were imported.

Though the 100 was intended to tap into mobilizing emerging markets where consumers were often limited in buying power, Paige positioned the car to be somewhat aspirational in Velkarja, with modern styling with relatively luxurious features like carpeting, map pockets, a locking glovebox, flow-through interior ventilation, safety glass, underbody protection for rough roads, and a radio.


Paige 100 Utility

Taking advantage of the 100’s conventional hotchkiss drive layout, it could be easily pressed into service as a small truck, with suspension changes, lengthened rear bodywork, a shorter rear axle ratio, and a wide ratio 4 speed transmission.

And what do I mean with that? Yeah, if I don’t remember things totally wrong I stated in the rules that I want one thread with DMs for all your submissions through the series. You have both sent them in new DMs. This might sound like an anal rule, but it is one that is rather easy to follow and makes stuff way more rational for me as a host. So, I am being “nice” now and giving you a chance to correct it by resending your cars in your original DM threads. If I see more rulebreakers like this, I am not as sure that I will be this nice and give a reminder, especially not when I have brought it up. But it is no big deal, just fix it and it will be OK.

Since we’re just using the ‘SANDBOX’ company, do we still need to submit a TP screenshot? You can’t ‘manage company’ like with a custom one so I’m not sure how to see TP

Saebyeok 1952 export lineup



The Saebyeok SA-1 (1952)

Carried over mainly unchanged is the standard SA-1, powered by the 1471cc engine making 50bhp and 104NM of torque.
The canvas roof and rear seats can be removed making the standard body into more of a load carrying vehicle.



SA-1 wagon

The wagon is a fully enclosed variant of the SA-1 with a corrugated steel rear section and full steel doors with slide open front windows.



SA-1 open body

The final variant is an open backed pick-up. The floor has been extended to create a more flat load area, the full tubular frame is shortened with a collapsible canvas roof used to cover the roof in inclement weather.
The open body is sold in a fully 4X4 drivetrain with raised ride height.
