The colours suggest a connection to Thailand or maybe Argentina.

First guess would be a car connected to white mouse racing, maybe taken in New Zealand 1955?

The driver would be H.H. Prince Birabongse Bhanutej Bhanubandh, or Bira to his mates.

It is indeed Bira.

Well done, beer for you Nordic.

Did you know Prince Bira's grandfather was actor Yul Brynner.

was that before or after he acted in the King and I ;)

During I suppose, the bit where Brynner wound one into Deborah Kerr, backscuttling her over the sofa whilst singing "Getting to know you".

I think he had just returned from the USA where 6 of his mates went on a binge that led to some trouble with mexicans.

Neil, you really must get out more, spending all your time on dashboardsRus.com is not good.

This one is really anoying.  One feature looks familiar, but with a 120mpg speedo, its hardly a sports car, but the rear view mirror on the dashboard suggests a soft top.  The build quality suggests Italian.

Alfa Spider 1600?

Surely that can't be an '1100', with bonnet bulges like that it must be a large twin cam or a 'V' engne.

But i seems to be the norm these days, I could be wrong.

Judging by the the plate, was it built when Germany still had control after the ............. or beforethe Italian designers went to college?

It has an all alloy 1100cc twin cam engine. Not sure what you mean with the number plate- it is displaying a dealer's plate in the pic, not the original plate. Car was constucted well after the Germans had left in 1948.
