I think the correct name was Mako P. The man behind Mako was Gerd Knözinger from Cologne-Rösrath, Germany. There were also Ford Capri V8 conversions by him.

Just add a little more darkness and diminish the contrast, then nobody can even tell if it is a car.  :(

Thank you for the kind note. If the puzzle isn't solved up to the Masters category, I'll be happy to increase the contrast for you :)

No need for that, as this surely will be solved on a lower level. It is a repost anyhow.

Checking once more, I have to confirm that you are absolutely right. So isn't everything necessary visible to solve the puzzle???
