Looks like the door is from a different model. Nothing lines up. |

GArBa, since you already know the answer you have to wait at least 48 hours before ID'ing this one so that the other players have a chance.
My jaw dropped when I found out how much the car pictured sold for at auction recently.

The car was built in metric and the door in inches- Ask NASA how that worked out for them.

it looks exactly like one, so it's either a very good knockoff or a licensed version from some other manufacturer.
