Not the best pic I know!
Potentially it's another re-post, but couldn't find it on a search. (admins merge if necessary!)


So, let's find out what it is, what engine it has, who built it and when!




You're grown-ups and know the rules!  ;D  Play fair!

A nice one! I don't think that it is a repost.

The centre section looks a bit like a Lancia.

There's a lot going on here! It has styling elements from so many contemporary cars, it could almost be anything.

A wild guess: a Mazda prototype for the Familia model, with rotary engine, from about 1966

From a 'known' manufacturer, or a private project?

At least one 'known' manufacturer was involved and a few rather obscure ones, too. These are not completely unknown for the Autopuzzles.com community though..
