I know, where to find this car, but I am missing the newly realeased book by now. So I can only guess: the name of the car consists of three letters and a name: NCR Proto?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #13 on:** November 02, 2021, 02:06:31 AM »

The name of the car consists three letters and starts with N. Locked for you

fromwien · « **Reply #14 on:** November 02, 2021, 03:36:11 AM »

Next guess will be: NGB? Attached the only picture I have with the car in the background (and unreadable letters on the bodywork)

NxB

Still locked

This is the Nob by Nobuyuki Kosaka, a one-off wooden bodied sports prototype based on a Subaru Sambar.

and you were write, the Proto word does appear
