How bizarre! That's clearly the same car, but where on earth did you find that name? (I've never heard it - and it's not the ID that I have for the car)

I've found it in my HD, but more bizarre it could be because I've got another picture! I can't find any reference on line about the name or the Design House 'Hainsworth32'

Somebody has really called a car a Urinaletta Liceman?!  I don't think so....!
Perhaps they just think it looks like a Gents toilet...

It was offered for sale in 2012 as a 'Layland 850' (sic) in East Lothian. Asking price: 300 GBP, but no takers…
I do not know its real name, though.

Not that I can see. I do have a press release about it though, so it has a mainstream(ish) background

The original builder of this car (obviously not U Liceman). Is he the same one that's in the car with Green Shirt with a P in the chest?

That P is somehow related to the builder's name?

The 'P' is related to why they built the car...

Not sure what you mean, but it had a regular petroleum engine when constructed

You'll need to be patient for a reply - Quiller hasn't logged on since April this year..
He's a bit tied up with his new job as Editor of Auto Italia magazine I think...
