Not much, but..

This puzzle is actually a repost of my old puzzle: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=20587.msg212686#msg212686

The Liza GTR, as it was named, was a product of RSM or Racing Servise Misaki, as it has been deciphered.
This was company/workshop was based in Osaka and made this Nissan Fairlady 2000-based sportscar sometime in 1969/1970. As you see the car was shown at Tokyo Racing Car show in 1969. However, I believe (unconfirmed* info) that it was a racing-oriented kitcar(?). My puzzle picture obviously shows more roadcar than racer, but who knows.

I provide below information (translation of period ad) exclusively for AutoPuzzles:

Quote
Mr. Masahiko Kaneko was born in 1944.
He is the designer who graduated from Art Center College of Art in 1971.

The following is a Japanese translation of the contents currently written to CAR GRAPHIC (the May, 1970 issue).


You only put a glass fiber body on Fairlady, and RSM LIZA fulfills the dream in which you own a custom car.

RSM LIZA is the glass fiber body which was based on Fairlady 2000 and Mr. Masahiko Kaneko designed.

The racing service MIKASA which is manufacturing and selling the bonnet made from glass fiber from before started manufacture.

Mr. Kaneko's manufactured product is already used as the everyday town car.

Moreover, one numbered passenger car of RSM is considering race activity as the start in Suzuka Circuit.

The performance is improving by the weight saving of the body by glass fiber, and reduction of head.

Much thanks for Koyapop for all ifnromation you find here and there.

* You must be a Japanese reader, at least.. Plus, there is not much info, in general.
