A french Mini Comtesse by 1970.

One of those "no license" little things...

It is, yes.
But what company made it for your point?

A 1976 stunt photo - or was that the ordinary driving behaviour in a fast curve? :)

There was a reason for the tiny extra wheels at the front corners ...

Having driven a Mini-Comtesse (and owned a later four-wheeled Super-Comtesse) I can confirm that the handling is as scary as that photograph suggests, with the steering quite possibly being the worse I have ever experienced in any car  ???
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.
