All 3 incorrect, but all with the right idea, I guess.

National it can't be because it doesn't start with an N, the two M guesses have the correct first letter.

Note also that I said dairy product company, as in they sell a singular type of product (large quantities of variations of that one product type, mind you), not an entire range of dairy products.

Closest guess so far, in the product that this company produces. Their name does not reflect the product, however.

Not Malanda, but the structure of the word is coming very close...

One of the previous answers (NOT Mozzarella Roadster :D) revealed the company that this particular cheese maker's is owned by....

That's my last clue until the correct answer, it really should not be difficult at all from here.

Much to easy a clue it appears. :D

We have a winner! This is (apparently) the Mainland. The photo was sent into either Car or Wheels in Australia regarding a family that had this vehicle/only picture of the vehicle and nothing but the name and drivetrain to go by. I'm guessing it was a one of back yard job, someone looking to have some fun and no production intended, but you never know...

Well done, 2 points coming your way.
