That my friend is a Subaru 360. Inspired by the Japanese Kei car regs. It had a 360cc 2 stroke turbo engine giving a massive 24 bhp output. Nice......

Blue ball please.

Spot on, a nice little Subaru.

Of all the people to get it right, I should have guessed it would be Pete.

Saw on of these in Portland, USA a fewe years ago. The guy had a small old caravan which he had modified - Toy Hauler for the Subaru and sleep in it durring in night.

Funny bit was he had these small vehicles next to all the other peoples big rig RV's - looked very odd. But good.

Back soon with another one asap.

Hi Phil,

Glad you looked at the background as well, but not the Le Mans circuit, try another major long circuit in Europe.

I think the track is the 'ring as for the car, well nothing so far beyond a hint of the Veryron, maybe an early prototype?

Well done -  spot on with the answer.

I will be back with another soon, as soon as I have finished this beer. That I'm drinking with a few DFH crew in NY. So that will be a while then  ;D

We just read Jay Leno, is going to do a new weekly show on NBC, and he has some great ideas for his show. Including stars in an Electric car around a test track with in car cameras to hear them swear. What a great idea  ::)

Back soon

I snapped these in a pub car park the other day, - one of the drivers seemed to get the hump when I said I hadn't heard of the marque before.

while we await Mr NoPanics return from the basement here's one to fill in the time...

Something from a classic rally, as most of them are in Italy and the car is red, is it a Fiat?

Seeing as almost racing fiats from the 50's are called the 'Otto Vu' I will start there, there are hundreds of types it would seem.

Are they Naylors or NGs? You know, the nasty kit cars based on a Triumph Spitfire or whatever and supposed to recreate the magic of the MGTF  ::)

No, Andy. They're a marque in their own right, and also have a Le Mans history.
A history that doesn't involve animals or buggery either.
