    Wow, that's a real smorgasbord of car design right there. It looks like a 60's RX8.

    Yeah it was, totally tbh. Ute is just a fancy word for pickup.

    It is a mess in that picture but not too bad overall...I'd never heard of it until I stumbled across one.

    Lotus Europa is correct. Extra point to VadimWolf for same pic cheesecake.

    It came close to being my first car, as a neighbour offered to sell me his in the mid 70's.
    Unfortunately, I was only 9 and had already spent that weeks pocket money (Asking price was 25p!)

    The headlight pod looking area and the tiny hood scoop looks like something Facel Vega would have done.

    Not a Facel, here's a slightly expanded view:

    2.8L or 3.2L 32 valve V8. Entered production in 1951.

    I thought Hotchkiss merged with Delahaye before this. Hotchkiss made driveline parts and military tings.
