READ CAREFULLY:

Here you are a different kind of puzzle.
Try to identify this car.
If you want to play fair, find the answer the old fashioned way.
If you want to cheat, you can easily find it via Google Image Search, 1st page.
If you are dumb, here's the answer:  - Abarth 1000 Burkert & Planer -, (right click and copy to read it.)

it's a game, if you like to play it go on!


(BTW: if you know the car, don't be afraid to answer immediately!  ;D )

This car was not built in the USA and it's not an Alfa Romeo.

...and when I'll post the front view you'll see that even the shape of the interior seems the same (steering wheel and boxy dashboard)!

it must be the same car, look at the shape of the door.
At least three are built. The pictures are taken in Liechtenstein, Spring 1966.

...but it can't be a coincidence!
I have a pic of a side view and it's just like that... :-\
I'll post it shortly and you'll see why I thought it can't be the same...

I don't know, i am trying to find the solution for years and i wrote an article about it, i always thought it was a Jehle prototype because the pictures were taken in Liechtenstein and it has a fliptop construction, just like the Jehle Saphier. But i guess it's not a Jehle, right?

OK, obviously Limo found out something VERY interesting...I'd like to share my info but it's against the rule so...c'mon solve this mistery.
Few questions will put you on the right way...I'll add the hard part.

As you obscured the rims... Are they distinctive for a special make?
