Yeah, that was my first thought, too.

Not related, for all I know.
And this time I learned my lesson and won't give clues as easily.

You're close to the point. It is a Smyk, but not the one yo propose: there are obvious differences between the two cars. You can surely find somewhere the connection between them.

Paul Jaray is right: this is the Smyk B30 (and, as far as my knowledge of Polish allows -zero, that is) I think the pictures poste by Gromotorix show the B31.
However, Paul says he won't take the point and it goes rightly to Grob: finding Smyk was the hardest part.
Here are other pics of the B30.

... and, as usual, I moved the topic to News, Info... instead of Solved Puzzles (that's what is proposed first when you click on the "move topic" button).
Help requested from an aministrator, please.
