I think, this is the Lidovka, from Czechoslovakia.

As is usually the case, make and model are needed to take the point.

I think what you're after is maybe Pilát Lidovka - but Pilát is the name of its constructor, Zdeněk Pilát. Anyway, this seems to be a prototype for the later R6, it's the only one of its kind in existence. It was built in 1943, powered by a 15 hp, 500 cc DKW TL motorcycle engine in front, but with rear-wheel drive. Top speed was 90 kph.
1974 Fiat X1/9 1500

Yes, "lid" means "people" or "folk" in czech, so Lidovka is (more or less) an affecionate way of saying "the popular one".
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.
