This is actually a very interesting car - and there are several of them around, so not a one-off.

I seem to have posted the same car in Rookies (now changed). This is a Jinhang JHEC-001Z - interesting because it's electric powered!

Well, that's interesting, because it's obviously the same car, and it does feature electric propulsion. But I've never heard of Jinhang, and I can't seem to find any sources about that on the Web, either...

So here's what I'll do:

I'll give you one point if you can somehow prove that you're right (I don't think you're lying, it's just that I've never heard of the Jinhang JHEC-001Z) - and then I'll give another point to the one who can tell me under what other name this car is sold (not in China, by the way).

OK?

Ah. Jinghang. That would explain why I didn't get any hits for Jinhang ;)

One point is yours! One is still up for grabs.

Is it really that easy? Keystone Barlow SX Electric Car (Most parts are USA...not China  ;D)
Keystone is written on the hood of the car you see when you open Quiller's link.

EcoBlue Corporation
C/O John Wang
11137 Rush Street, Unit K
South El Monte, CA 91733

A Chinese connection can't be denied!  ;)

The Barlow SX is correct. One point for you!

With Chinese cars, it can be very difficult to know who actually makes them. Often 'trading' companies put their names to other people's cars
