My 500th puzzle, so I thought I should make it a tough one.   :P

I think this is a real brain teaser that will either be solved instantly, or will sit around in the Black Hole for a while.  Let's hope it's not the latter, and here's to the next 500 puzzles! 

So, to gain a point, what is the full make and model name of this car, plus any other information you may have about it?

I think this one is difficult, so straight to the Pros, although Experts can still have a go of course.

Not a Nissan Gobi, although it is based on a Nissan!

The base is Japanese (Nissan), but the car is not.  It is from the 1990s though.

It's Nissan-based, but not a FEV.

Thanks for waking this one up from its long slumbers sixtee5cuda.  As this puzzle has been here for so long, to be honest I have lost (mislaid) my info in this car, although I do still know what it was called, and what it was based on.  AFAIK this car doe not have a folding hardtop, but rather a removable one-piece roof.

As I mentioned previously, I lost my original information on this car some time ago when my hard drive failed, so currently I only have the name of the car, although I do have the original paper folder about it somewhere, which i will hopefully find sometime soon.  So, re your question, from memory this was the work o a small company, which I don't think was an independent designer, but the firm was British.  Sorry that I can not be more specific at this stage  ???

Has the name of this car been used for another car anywhere anytime, or is it unique ?
