No, because...

Skoda Type 720 Spider from 1972.

Trommel is correct!
This is actually a repost of:

www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8191.0

But because that puzzle car has a different name from the one I'm going to post I'll leave them separate for the time being so they can both be found; unless anyone objects, then I can merge them?

In the meantime here's another picture:

Merging seems like a good idea.  Both cars are referred to online as Skoda B5 Spiders.  Each is also called either Type 720 or Type 728.  I think there is a chance they are the same car.

Pretty sure it's the same car so I'll merge them then and change the heading slightly..
