Hi Norman,

I've read your message and appreciate explanation. I may have overreacted a little bit. Truth is, I did not like my answers being corrected or deleted.
Nevermind. AP gave me so much in those last 5 or so years that I am too much connected to the community that, I want to believe, helped to build a little bit.

For the future, if the puzzle is initially locked for the members below 400 or so points, may I kindly ask you to indicate so in your first post? I trust this would be much useful for anyone not only me browsing through puzzles.

I am thankful for the lock. As I wrote initially, I am quite sure that car is an obscure New Zealand-made (most probably one-off, as far as I remember) BMW M1 replica made by Everson Motor Works n Auckland. It is Holden Commodore-based and named Everson EMW6. Why six? Because it was the 6th design by it's builder - Cliff Everson. Total production - 4 examples.
According to this site http://www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?BU=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aucklandcity.govt.nz%2Fdbtw-wpd%2Fnzcardindex%2Fsearch.htm&AC=QBE_QUERY&TN=NZcardindex&QF0=unique_record_id&NP=4&RF=Display+card+info&QI0=NZCI000117070 (which I think I can post here as I would doubt there other usefull stuff) the 6 has a different meaning.

Interesting!

I've quoted Patrick Harlow's fantastic book and I think his info is more trust-worthy, but who really knows for sure.. Not me.
