A quick and easy point to the first Rookie that can correctly identify this vehicle, and also explain what makes it quite unusual.

What the Dickens is this?  Great Expert-ations!

It's called the Ox, designed in Britain, Ford diesel-engined and a belated contender for car to be assembled in (poor) countries.

Yes, it is the OX (capital O and X), claimed to be world's first flat-pack vehicle, made by Global Vehicle Trust – GVT.  Another point to you.

Also part of your original question was "what makes it unusual?".

Perhaps that has been answered already in that it is the world's first flat-pack vehicle (although I seem to recall posting an item in the "Humour" section showing a VW Golf as available from IKEA...!) but also the steering wheel and controls are positioned in the central of three seats, which I know is not the first vehicle to do so, but the idea is that it can produced for any world markets whether they drive on the left or the right without having to go to the expense of engineering it for LHD or RHD.  The makers made a big point of this feature!

And the company was se up as a non-profit organization. But when you think about it: don't almost all small scale car production attempts end up as non-profit?

Picture seems to have gone walkabout so here's another:
