As far as I know, it's a pure one-off. If a company were involved, it surely didn't last that long with workmanship that 'special'  :)

As a Diva aficionado I heave a sigh of relief!
I'm still trying to find a photo of the Skodec-Diva if anyone knows of a source....... :)
Did the puzzle car appear in a kitcar magazine or in one such as Autosport?

I have the original photo in my collection - and I can't say I've seen it anywhere else. This is the very definition of obscure!
