Just googling Marvia Cobra:
Quote
North Jakarta, Indonesia, JU
Cobra Make, Engine: Marvia Cobra body on Torana front and rear clips, Holden 202 in-line six with a tiredmatic. RHD Hurricane street roadster HM1081

The info I had was a bit limited; the car was For Sale in Jakarta.
It was described as a "Holden Torana Roadster" so I suppose that could include a home-built or a kit-car..
1 more point for you and well done!
Below is the un-modified puzzle picture.

Oh, and I've merged it too since we've had the Marvia before.

And we took to them, and they took to us.

And whaddya think they took?

Oil from Canada. Gold from Mexico. Geese from their neighbor's back yard, boom boom.
Corn from the Indians. Tobacco from the Indians. New York from the Indians. New Jersey from the Indians.New Hampshire from the Indians....

Indonesia for the Indonesians!

Sorry to further lead this thread astray for the sake of old business but I HAD to acknowledge Sir Otto's invoking of the Firesign Theater. Thought about them the other day but figured it was just errant brain cells misfiring -- it's a comfort to know I'm not alone  ;D

Here's a couple of screenshots from the video of this car:
I think it should be a Marvia (not a Mariva) and there's the Cobra badge.
