I only have limited information for this one, so the make will be enough for 1 point.

This is a tricky one. IGOL seems to be a Romanian motor oil. The car itself appears to be a sort of Paris-Dakar creation and if those really are swing axles at the rear :o, it may be a rear-engined vehicle. How close am I? ???

It's not from Romania. It's meant to be mid- or rear-engined but this one is an unfinished item without engine nor gearbox. I don't know if there are swing axles at the rear. It was not made for Paris-Dakar AFAIK.

Is this a French creation?

I thought so, as the French seem to love this type of autocross competition buggy.  So, is it a Gembo, usually using a PRV motor?

Bingo ! It's Gembo, but an unfinished one without engine.
