You're right - it's not a Rovin!

Fantastic! I knew there was a prototype Russon with a very different body but I'd never seen a picture before, so thanks a lot for this! If anyone has any more pics of 'production' Russons I'd love to see them, I only have the oft-published photo that was used here:

to be fair, the car in question was the FIRST prototype.
Later models were apparently still referred to as prototypes as they only made about seven vehicles and each appeared to be a bit different.

in order below are the rear view of the first production vehicle (still probably prototype), then #2 build and then the final version that was about to be sent out to a dealer.
Note that all the vehicles bear the same plate except for the last one.

I would post the author and book that these are from but don't know if it is allowed since *several* recent puzzles appear to be from it.
