looks like some late 60´s to early 70´s design revamped in the early 90s to be still built and built...

Maybe it´s some brazilian Puma in its last version or something alike?

Is that a Mastretta?

Yes, it is! And although I asked for make and model designation, this one doesn't really have both - on the Mastretta web pages it's only referred to as the Mastretta Sports Car of the 1990s. So, the point is yours!

Hmm....is that a newer version of the Lancia Monte Carlo, by chance?

That roof line and the "arches" along the back look reminiscent of that car.  I have a Majorette model of one....

It not related to the Lancia Monte Carlo I'm afraid.  I see what you're thinking though.

Ah ha, that will be the one, taken from a rather more attractive angle.  Thanks.

I think that the B&W one is an MXA, the yellow one an MXB. I may well be wrong though.
