Not British either.

There's definitely some Countach influence in here!

I don't believe so.

Full disclosure - I only have a single point of source with no manufacturer history so I'm going off the relatively little information I have.

So... Australian.

Did this company made any other models than this one?

That's my source, yes.

As above, I'm going at this without manufacturer history so I'm unsure if they did.

It may have been, but the source is not.
