Daihatsu P-5 1969

That's the car, although I have a different year and very slightly different name.  Locked for you to look further into it and come up with what I have.

You're obviously very knowledgable and interested in unusual cars; hopefully we'll be able to see some of your own puzzles in the near future, as AutoPuzzles relies heavily on the input of enthusiasts to post puzzles as well as solve them!

Apparently, the name of the car – Daihatsu P5. It was built in 1968 and  had a 1.3 liter engine. Top speed was 245 km/h.

It would appear you haven't quite got the right car dzima1985.
I'll keep it locked for the moment to give you one more chance to get the right model and year, but after 24 hours I'll have to open it up again.

This is probably my last attempt ...
After a long search, I think that this is a Daihatsu P-5X Prototype (1967)

Indeed it is.
This prototype was shown at the Tokyo Show in 1967 before being turned into the P-5 competition car in 1968.
