I'm sure it's something to do with Hino - an artist's impression of the Hino Contessa coupe, from 1960?  - but I can't find it anywhere (I have this image saved but no idea where I found it)

No, nothing to do with Daihatsu..

..but it IS something to do with Hino!
It's 1960s but nothing to do with the Contessa AFAIK.
It was just a proposal but I'm looking for its full name.
I'll lock it for you until your next reply though to see if you can find it again!

That took some finding!

Galaxy RS-1, based on a Hino 4CV. I guess just an amateur idea that never went any further

That's the one - with a Renault 4CV engine (well, if it had ever got an engine that was the idea..!)
Well done.
