I have this saved as a Martini-Mini, which would be a repost. So perhaps Martini-NSU?

Actually that's not at all what I have it as!
My info is not necessarily any more correct than yours though; would you PM me with some proof/a site that I can check out against my own info?
If my puzzle pic is indeed the Mini-Cooper Martini (and I agree it does look awfully similar) then it would be a repost and would need to be merged.

I've checked it out and it is indeed from the Martini stable and it's not the same Martini that has been posted before.

So it's locked for you to come up with exactly what this car is!

Well if not Mini or NSU, how about BMW 700?

No, it is still Mini-based.

Well i'm afraid I can't add anything else!
I have a feeling the photo is taken at the Nurburgring though, but I'm not sure....

It is the Mini Martini. The one and only dark green Mk2.

You seem to know the car, but according to my info it is known by a specific name.
We've already established that it is a Mini-based Martini, but what is it actually called?

It could be Martini ACS Mk2, for Martini Austin Cooper S.
But I think it was also named Martini Mini Cooper.

After the original Martini ACS (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2008-36/q136-solved-mini-cooper-martini/) was crashed at the 500 km Nürburgring race, the car was rebuilt with a different bonnet and became the Mk 2.
