No, I said that these flowers are from India ... or Hawaii. The first brand that comes to mind is Maruti but is not as old as it seems by the looks of the car.
It is a prototype of Tata or Mahindra?

No, of course it's the Maruti prototype as you may have already checked on the internet...
I have to admit that I'm a little astounded on your botanic talents.. (http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g106/pan1968/Gifs/0009.gif)

But it's still not solved if you read the puzzle text carefully..

I know that is not fully resolved but do not know the complete answer. It is a pity that more aid does not serve the talent botanical my wife saw the picture said that the flowers looked like India.

Since it is not blocked is open for responses from other members.

I do not know if it is very easy or very difficult. Not everyone has the same talent ... on flowers and cars.

Maruti Ltd. built this prototype in Gurgaon, Harayama, India in 1973. 676 cc., 2 doors, 4 seats. After the fatal airplane crash of Sanjay Gandhi (son of Indhira Gandhi) in 1980, nothing was heard of the project.

I found this pic with no-info about.
I think I saw it somewhere but I'm often wrong.
I just have the license plate, nothing more.

Gosh, I know this one, but just can't remember its name!  From memory it is Indian, so I will say that it's a Sipani?

It looks very much like a dark colored Maruti prototype from India.

That's a relief, I'm not the only one!
I had a couple of names in mind but after a quick search I didn't find the exact one...maybe someone is luckier than me!

Allemano and Wendax have jogged my memory, so I now third that!  At least I remembered the Indian connection!

I think Allemano found it...but they are different... should they be merged?

Wipers rest in a different direction, and there is more distance between side indicator light and headlights.

Do we even know if the Maruti has the kink above the rear tire?

I would say looking at the left hand side rear window from inside the car, yes.

Solved, merged and moved!
