Well, that gauge arrangement is an EXACT copy of the one in my Miata.

So I am guessing this is a Mazda product, a precursor to the MX-5. Why not an MX-1, then?    ???

Not a Mazda. This car predates the MX5 / Miata by quite a few years.

oh KAY, then.

For my next guess, I am going to say the windshield is from an early 'Vette and the "shark gills" behind the front wheels also indicate a connection to the Corvette program. In fact, the "hump" of the rear fenders ALSO looks rather Vette-ish.  As do the three taillight treatment. The centered exhaust indicates irs.......

Oh what the hell. I have NO idea.  A Chevrolet product of some sort, or at least GM? Maybe a Pontiac test mule for a Corvette clone? Or maybe a Tatra. Those seem to be popular in this section lately!    :D

No GM or Tatra connection that I'm aware of.

Well, DANG!  I am fresh out of ideas then.

Maybe one of the other lads would like to take a swing at the pinata?   ???

It is Panhard based, yes, but I don't know which model (in fact I don't know a great deal about this car..)

OK, unlocked.
As I said though, I don't know very much myself so you could always have a guess!

I know this car from somewhere, but can't remember ! I think it's more likely a 24CT base, but can find nothing on the web. FYI the "Les Amis de Panhard" site is currently under construction, so that's no use !

I think you've hit the nail on the head there frederick!  Well done.

I found the picture below of a Panhard Sera which is the same car (same registration number as on the original photo) so that confirms it.

Unfortunately that means it's a repost, but from a long time ago so you still get your point but I'll have to merge it.
