Bon Needham is the creator of this car. But I have different name for it. Not the Stinger. You have 24 hours to find the name I have or to prove somehow rour name.

I found the name given at http://www.fastroadandtrack.co.uk/frat/showad.php?adid=4439

It seems you are right (however I have another model name), but for one point the name of the company that built it is still needed.
