I think it started out in Birmingham as a late model (impossible now to estimate the year) Vauxhall Nova which passed through a series of cap-on-backwards-yoofs' hands, until the final, fatal tricking-up led to this result. Am I close?  ;D ;D

I thought so!  I can't find anything current, but after some research I found a photograph from a different angle.  The puzzle car is a Danish ECOmove electric car by QBEAK, which was introduced in 2011, to be available by the end of 2012, but I can't determine if it was ever actually produced.

It's not an ECOmove by QBEAK. It's a QBEAK by ECOmove. As I'm a nice guy I'll give you a point anyway  :)

In 2012 they unveiled a QBEAK III running prototype, saying it would be ready for 2014. They have a little more than 3 months left.

Thanks for the point.  The information I found (translated from a foreign language) was simply "QBEAK ECOmove".  I had a 50/50 chance as to which was the name of the car, and I guessed wrong.
