Now this a lucky shot: I didn't know about this car untill a few weeks ago when I was looking for another puzzle. I found this picture, saved it on my computer and titled it as a Porsche Python, apparantly based on a Porsche 356 1600. I haven't been able to find out much more ; some sources say it isn't a Porsche, some say it's a kit car, one source even said that 45 where build in Canada, I don't know ... Maybe someone can shed a light on this one?

We probably have the same source, although I understood there was some doubt about whether it was actually Porsche-based despite the Porsche 356 badges.  It's possibly VW-based.  No idea how many of these were made though.

The logo says: Fergus Canada?

That seems to be a town in Ontario..

Maybe where these were built?
