    EDIT: Pwnd... Similar look, same paint, wheels, arches... but a 2 Door!

    Hmmm,

    Back and doors of a Gutbrod superior, but the wheelsize/arches and light is wrong.

    Looks like a convertible version of the ZAZ-965. It's gotta be Eastern European, surely?

    [EDIT]It's the suicide doors I keep picking up on. The doors look very ZAZ, but that front looks a bit like the Fiat 1100-103. Argh! And the body looks either glassfibre or extremely poorly made.[/EDIT]

    Late 50's / early 60's ACMA Vespa 400 - a French product designed in Italy by Piaggio - is my guess.

    EDIT 1: Uhm, 1959, perhaps?

    EDIT 2: Scratch that. It appears to be a 1956.

    EDIT 3: Just because I'm feeling generous today:

    An old cropjob of mine which should be easy to decipher. However... the answer must include make, model, year and the name of this particular edition. Not necessarily in that order.

    Good job, blunc! 1968 California Special it is. Not insanely popular, but definitely worth knowing, I'd say.

    I remember the Cougar tail lights on early mustangs. Sequential blinkers were neat trick

    I worked on a california special once, those tail lights stuck in my memory.

    I've heard they make new sequential blinker circuits for LED tail light assemblies now.

    anyone ready can go.

    We had two of those - one of them had the most industrial diesel engine I've ever heard. It made a tractor seem quiet and refined.

    IIRC Rover sourced those engines from Perkins. They WERE tractor engines! :thumb:
