 thought you were suppose to getthe make and model but yes Hino it is, weather they make fine trucks is debatable, cheap trucks yes

Hino Contessa

Hino Contessa Coupe (1966)
Hino is still known for trucks, but in the late 1950s, it manufactured cars under licence from Renault. In the 1960s, it developed its own model, combining Renault design principles (mainly consisting of putting the engine in the back and making it handle really badly) with a European-designed body. One New Zealand journalist (the Contessa was assembled there from Japanese kits) accused the car of trying to kill him with its wayward handling (only he did not use the word "car"). The Contessa was the only model Hino ever came up with, as the company was taken over by Toyota and told to concentrate on trucks.

This is a wild guess but I think its a DB, that's Deustch Bonnet, a French attempt at a light sports car and did quite well at Le Mans?

Ok I give-in :P

Its a GSM Flamingo which was a tiny little fibreglass car. Crazy fin down the back of it! :oops:

Standard they had a 1500 ford engine in it but the one I had was a small block V8.

I think it was illegal to have this much fun in a car but hey ho had to be done and at that stage in my life fuel bills were not an issue  :oops:

It won many races in the history of the car in the convertible version (GSM Dart)

Someone else now :P

That's right! A Van den Brink Carver, powered by a three cylinder 1000 cc Diahatsu engine and able to lean motorcycle style into corners. I want one!

 I was wondering if it has got a reverse, or how do you do a 3 point turn with it ???
 Anyway here is a new one.
