Post by: Carnut on December 17, 2020, 12:50:06 PM: It doesn't have a name, I only wanted to know what it was a proposal for, based on what mechanicals.
We've already established it was based on Toyota Celica parts, and I'll tell you that it was a proposal for a 4-seater car.
So now all I want is who designed it?
