The good news is that I know this is based on a two-stroke Saab, and from memory it is Australian.

The bad news is that I can't remember its name, and won't be able to find it until the weekend as currently buired at Goodwood getting ready for the Festival of Speed, which is truely manic at the moment (I will send you a pm re this, so don't panic!).

I'll tell you what, Djetset, I know you know this so I'll lock it for you since you're so busy, then when you get the time you can just add the last bit of detail!

Don't forget this one is locked for you Djetset, but I can't keep it that way for much longer!
Now that you're not so busy perhaps you can give your final answer, for which I'll give you 36 hours after which I'd have to open it up again.

Forgive the slow reply, but I've been out of action and all communicatyion for the past two weeks.  Anyway, this is the stillborn Lightburn Saab project from Australia (the same Lightburn as in the Zeta, etc.).

This has almost, but not quite, been posted before; but the picture is different and the answer I'm looking for is different too this time around.
First of all what is it, but essential for the point, who was responsible it?

ANYONE FOUND GIVING ANSWERS OBTAINED BY USING GOOGLE SEARCH BY IMAGE MAY BE BANNED FOR AN INDETERMINATE PERIOD!
