What's this, from when and who's in the driving seat?

Google Search by Image continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Search by Image as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

It's a Delfosse powered by a VW engine, on a puzzle on this site it was called a 1100 but I have seen Volkssport as name as well.

That's correct, but you've only answered a third of the questions!
I'll lock it for you for 24 hours to come up with the other two-thirds..
