No misleading here, the puzzle car was built in France.

A French Formula Junior?  Like a Bourgeault? (I think that's French...it sounds French.)  Forget that one, it was built in California.  Like a Sirmac - Renault?

Is Lucy O'Reilly Schell (probably a distant...very distant...relative of mine) and/or Ecurie Bleu involved here somehow?

It is a child's car resembling a Matra, but it wasn't built by Matra.

Mordor
Wasn't that Frodo's destination in Middle-Earth?
No hobbit connection, although it is for small people.  :D
