A car that was previously mentioned on Autopuzzles.com, but never actually pictured...

For one point, provide the year, make, model, and coachbuilder of this tiny car.

And the point goes to Bizzarrini Rossa for the correct answer.  Honda actually had little to do with this car, it was a project of Zagato and the Italian Honda distributor, Motauto.

I've also seen the name "Youngstar" attached to this car.  More than one may have been built.

The previous mention of this car was in the Zanzara puzzle.

Ah, F.X.Schmid Prototypen 539 22 from 1974, I thought. But the text is English. Must be Top Trumps then.
