This i is the Gatsonides Kwik of 1949.
It was more commonly referred as the Gatso Platje.

Very impressive. I was pretty sure that was going to take longer, as it is quite similar to a lot of other cars from that angle. A well deserved point!

And why I didn't make the connection and refrained from posting this, when I knew that you had already posted the Gatso 4000, is a mystery. The brain works in mysterious ways.

Funnily enough a german car mag has seen it on a road and mis-identified it as a "GaLso"...

I think it may be interesting remember that this car was realized upon a Fiat 1500 chassis.
