It cannot.

American? British?
Nope.

I believe that I am the only person to have put an image on the internet of this vehicle, from memory I've posting one other image elsewhere but I cannot remember where. I'm possibly even the only one to have seen it as a member of the public...

Not this car, no.

Just found the image where I posted it, according to the stats it's been downloaded 3 times. Good luck.  ;D

Oh how I wish! Was presented as the opportunity to purchase, but I was 17 at the time so I couldn't quite muster together the money required.  ;D (Still can't 2 years later...)

Gah! I was trying to avoid giving too much away.

This is Wiesmann Roadster #001 from 1987, built 5 years before the first production roadster.

Obviousely not the only one:







The later models called (1994) MF25 respectively M35.
Even the first car is definetely BMW related....

I believe those are press photos from '93, as the car I saw was altered I think it's been re-sprayed, re-upholstered and slightly modified with flared wheel arches and proper roof.

I don't believe 001 to be BMW related, the stats of that car do not correspond with the information given with the pictures you show. All that I've been able to find out says that their involvement with BMW started in 1993, not in 1987.
