It's definately a Manic GT, based on a Renault 10 and built in Canada, until the project went bang in 1971
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

Jacques About first worked in public relations for Renault Canada. It was there that he recognized Canadians needed to have access to more sporty European styles. Before developing the Manic GT, About and his team designed and fabricated the Manic-Grac – an actual racing car
