Who is he, and what car can he be associated with in his work?

Art and cars. Painters, writers, musicians, actors, movie makers: in a nutshell, artists. Cars of special importance in their work, or in their life.

Rule of this puzzle is: you identify the artist, you have one week to find the car. After that, the hunt is opened and anyone can rob you of your point.

If you haven't registered yet, you need to do so in order to reply with your answer.
Also, please be sure to check out our other puzzles, and, please post a puzzle of your own if you'd like - the more, the merrier.

Thanks!

Those "face" puzzles can drive one nuts, can't they? Especially as most of the time he has a feeling of déjà-vu and is persuaded to know that face from somewhere... but where? Your "Wide Word of Sports" had the same effect on me.

This is why I love them, of course.

That just leaves "dancer" as his art I think

So, counting Otto's "visual arts" for 2, you say there are only 5 arts?

Music
Painter or sculptor (visual arts)
Writer (must include book and drama)
Dancer

I suppose Actor has to be added

I know, I know, I've been accused to deprive experts of a chance to take a shot at some puzzles that I had moved directly to the Pro and Feature Writer section.

Well, here is their chance: I am moving back this one to the FREE FOR ALL section!

It looks a bit like Peter Sellers in one of his many disguises.

Exactly.
Now you have to find a car he can be associated with. I have a particular car in mind, since often actors can be associated with many cars.
If you give me this precise car this will be a 2 points puzzle. A clue: it is blue.
Come with another (and some kind of evidence of the connection), it will only be worth one point.

Is it the Viotti Bristol, the two-pointer?  ;)

I don't know what is the Viotti Bristol, but if you read my puzzle post you'll see that this is locked for neilshouse.

I think that's not a clearly locked puzzle! (and I've definetely read the post!) "You" has two different meanings, "You" know?

I've meant the 1962 Viotti Bristol 407 drophead by Viotti, but I admit he owned many cars more

Don't you call that locked?

I know he has been associated with lots of different cars but this is the car I associate him with more than any others.

A Mini Cooper modified by Hooper.

The car I am talking is in a movie he made.

In 'The Party' he drove a superbly tatty Morgan 3 wheeler. From memory that was blue.
