Passepartout is lost in the Indian sub-continent.  I searched all the day my Indian site, but nothing.  Is it a custom-built car ?  And that hood ornament which looks like a giraffe !

As far as I know it's not custom made!

It's not a giraffe, but an animal's head indeed! Guess knowing the correct species won't improve your chances...

Thanks Krishna !  I found it haphazardly when looking for somewhat completely different (except that it was a minicar).  I never heard of that make before.

Strangely, googling for Meera Minicar, I found another Indian minicar completely different, which is compared with the Nano.  The photograph at economictimes.indiatimes shows it with a crowd around it.  Which is which ?
Looking for the enlarged photograph of your (our) Meera, I see something written on the hood, but I can't read it.  Shankarrao ?  And Meera could also be read as Micra.  As for the giraffe, it looks like some kind of antelope.
Thanks for this great puzzle !
