What information is required to earn the point? Is it just the vehicle name?

Do you think it is based on a British make?

Is the car named after its builder, or does it have a different kind of name (after an animal, etc)?

The name is nothing to do with the car's builder AFAIK, but I'm not sure if it's actually named after anything...  Nothing I've heard of anyway!

Is the name a collection of initials like GRZ or initials turned into a pronounceable  acronym like GRIZ that doesn't mean anything?

It was called 'The Gat'

What is in the picture:
“It was called “The Gat” and it was made out of chicken wire, electrical conduit and it was melb I think. Maybe down around Flinders”

"For a while in Newcastle in the mid 1960's, one of the car yards in Islington had a fibreglass "special", similar in concept to the one pictured, up for sale. The salesman commented that the car was actually quite heavy as the fibreglass was so thick. From memory !!, I think it might have had a sidevalve Ford up front. It was on the market for a long while, then disappeared."
