It's a FAIRTHORPE TORNADO with the tail modified in Italy by a local dealer (AUTOMYL - Genova)

I'm amazed you know what this most obscure car about which almost nothing is known is!
Did you know it before I posted the puzzle?

Strange that you call it a Fairthorpe Tornado though.  Where did that name come from?
I know the Tornado cars (Talisman etc) but have never heard of any connection between Fairthorpe and Tornado.

Still awaiting the car's correct name therefore and this puzzle is locked for you for 24 hours to come up with it.

You are right, It is a poor understanding of my part owed to this site :  <<link removed>>
The correct name of the car is : Fairthorpe Electron Minor

I knew the Fairthorpe cars before but not all the models.

OK, fair enough, though I still don't know how you knew this was a Fairthorpe as I didn't recognise it as such..  With LHD, Italian plates and a rear-end like no other Fairthorpe I though it would be pretty unrecognisable.  Clearly I was wrong..!
