After a quick search I found out that this car should be an 'etceterini' by Zanussi:
here is the pic from "La Sport e i suoi Artigiani" book:
Is there anyone with more info about?

Looks like that, with a different front end but still very similar. The wheels look like Topolino to me and, well, the size also.

Is there someone who can please tell me where the hell is this?
It should be the #21 by Joao, Jotage or Jimarron, if I'm not mistaken, but can't find it..and I've been looking for it for some days so far...

I am posting this request here not as a puzzle since it is too obvious it is Lotus, but my question is what Lotus it is? Could anyone help me with its identity, please?

P.S. No, not Etna  :D

Thanks!! According to what's written there and to the numberplate it appears to be an obscure Lotus Elan F100, doesn't it?

Here are a couple of cars i've saved from the web. Both seem to be homemade, the first one is from IMCDB, and both are from eastern europe somewhere.... other than that I have no details. Anyone have any ideas?

Oh, and while we're at it, anyone know who made this? Seems to just be a glassfibre bonnet on a Spridget, but i'm SURE I've seen it before, and I think it was on this site..... anyone know? Seen in a 1968 edition of Autocar magazine
