I know, where to find this car, but I am missing the newly realeased book by now. So I can only guess: the name of the car consists of three letters and a name: NCR Proto?

Next guess will be: NGB? Attached the only picture I have with the car in the background (and unreadable letters on the bodywork)

Nice :)

This is the Nob by Nobuyuki Kosaka, a one-off wooden bodied sports prototype based on a Subaru Sambar.
