Also oldfashioned headlights 'ears' are noticable. I tried with Honda N360/N600, Colt 800/1000, Prince Skyline, they didn't match. Is it Japanese at all?

130rapid ◊ 2012-10-05 15:53	Yes, I have been noticed that. The movie isn't available on Youtube yet, pity.

130rapid ◊ 2023-04-28 16:25	Just 'Sunny'. Indeed, the front wallance fits! These front wings without engine cover fooled me, I was thinking about 1960s car (with front end similar to Peugeot 404 in overall shape). -- Last edit: 2023-04-28 16:29:23
