Designer is Japanese, but is the manufacturer Japanese too ?

Designer is indeed Japanese, but the manufacturer is not.

Hideo Kodama for Bitter?
It reminds me of the Bitter Blazer.

That's the one :-)
Point for you.

I believe that it was a sketch for what would later become the Bitter Blazer. But I couldn't found a proof for it. I only know that George Gallion was asked to make some drawings for the Bitter Blazer.

The only desciption for this drawing was: Geländewagen.
I took the photo at Techno Classica a couple of years ago. I'll probably go again next month, and if the Bitter Club is present again, I'll see if they can give some more background information.

Thanks. I was so sure that this drawing was never posted, that I forgot to look for previous puzzles.
