Waiting for its 24 hours.

For one point, please respond and identify this car by telling me what it is supposed to be and what kind of engine was used.

It is a GT40 tribute, but not Imp-based.

Yes, it is French. I don't know its maker, just the engine.

Firing blanks anyway  :)

Maybe the next round should be: Is it a car engine?

Hey! Hoh! After almost eight months I am proud to give you a well-earned Rookie point!  :thumbsup:

This beautiful GT40 is rather a GT49cc, powered by a Mobylette two-stroke engine.
