Yes, it has appeared before on AP but not as its own puzzle.
So what is it for 1 point?

Oh, it's ok...if you like your face pressed against the windshield & being baked by the sun & dealing with zero visability at dusk; due to glare. I will say these cars...along with their closely styled cousins, are nice looking cars though. My invader GT has much more room between occupants head & windshield & less windshield glare.

Isn't this a Cimbria, a kitcar based on a Beetle platform?

Cimbria was the model name only, as the car was made by Amore.   Yet another Nova derivative.

Thanks!
Yes, the Nova must take the record for sprouting the greatest number of variations..
This one was a little more different than most, being a bit of a copy of a de Tomaso Mangusta at the rear, and having gullwing doors instead of the usual opening canopy.

The Amore Cimbria ultimately came full circle as well, as it was derived from the English Nova, and ended up being made in England as the Eagle SS, with a few minor changes.
