Please be so kind and identify this car for one point

Experts?

A Dodge Husky?

Alfa Romeo Alfasud pre-series verhicle in disguise not to be recognised by the press.

[fromwien]

Yes, of course! I thought you will be the first Expert to recognize this car! LOCKED for you to find the year

[Alfa_Japan]

Hello "fromwien" the year was not a requirement stated in the Puzzle opening post. I have this Italian magazine clipping used in the Puzzle in my archive somewhere but can't locate it right now so for the year it's guessing. Most probably 1971.

That was very well spotted!  That front-hinged bonnet should have been a clue to me;...I was working on a customer's Alfasud while relying on its own horribly crude bonnet prop.  One hefty gust of wind, and the bonnnet flipped 90% forwards.

Yes you are right! Thought identifying a car, includes the year as clear it is to have more than two wheels... But did once more forget, we are here more on court, than playing a friendly game.
Nevertheless I feel happy to award you with one more point. The year is 1969.
Congratulation

Thanks fromwien for the point. As written I have the Italian magazine clipping from which the puzzle picture is coming, yet not yet able to locate it in the archive. No intent to make life more complex than needed on a hobby forum/website. Sorry if it felt like that.
