Not the sort of car I usually post but who can tell me the name, nationality, what make of engine it used and for what purpose it was used. One point on offer.

It does look like a mobile Jacuzzi and might well be used for that purpose now! - a sort of large bird bath?

I guess it is a riding type lawn-mower with a custom bodywork. The engine is perhaps a Briggs & Stratton?

Engine is correct but the car has nothing to do with mowing lawns I'm afraid

I guess it is a "car" for wheelchair users?

That's correct SeaLion.

So we now have (make?); (nationality?); Briggs & Stratton engine; wheelchair use.

Who can complete the puzzle?

It looks very American (USA)!
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

It is American.
Now all we need is the name.

Apparently only two prototypes were built c.2007.
I presume this is the second as the name I have is 'xxxxxxx II'
