Not in use for a long time it seems.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Strange thing! :-\ Is it a kids' car with a motorbike/scooter engine? It seems to lack suspension and the bent steering rod (!!!) would cause it to fail a roadworthy test, so maybe for use in a big garden or fairground.

Perhaps, it is hard to tell from the only contemporary car photo I know. The driver may be a youngster.
