It's an abortion powered by a motorcycle that fits inside it. I'm not sure if it's been in here yet, but it's a multiple repost whore in the abortions thread.

Don't take top gear seriously, he wasn't entirely serious. What is true is that you can't engine brake. But it can idle just the same as any other car. It runs just like a weedeater, and those idle just fine. Although they'll almost run without oil

I've even seen those Saab's raceing in the Baja 500 back in the early 80's.

| 79SuperVert's red car bares resemblance to an AC Ace, particularly in the headlights and the radiator opening. Plus, it's a right hand drive. |

I thought it looked familiar. I can definitely see the inspiration for the cobra in there.

Fiberglass bodied like the Berkely but not from the same country although the internals are English Ford. Only 25 were produced.

Too funny! I kind of thought that's what you meant but then, nah, that can't be it. Who pays attention to my posts!  Yeah, I never named it. I still call it "The Beetle".
So, as to red sports coupe, it's a Buckle from Australia. The maker went on to become a manufacturer of Goggomobil's there.
