This is the Yamaoka,of which I,ve never heard before.I found in a new book series.This car is believed to be a coachbuilt design built on a contemporary Datsun chassis.The person behind it is thought to be Magokichi Yamaoka,founder of the Yanmar company,the year is 1952 sedan 4 door and an 860cc(20HP) engine?

Indeed.
It was only published a few weeks ago so I thought I would get one or two puzzles out of it before it became more widely known.
Shows my naivety; I'll put it away again now...
