Al and Nick excluded from guessing due to prior knowledge of circumstance- not that I would accuse them of attempting to do so. ::)

Since you were polite enough to ask, and Jim decided not to end the fun yet- yes, editors and Reverse Trike Truckete version hatchlings are excluded.

To solve this mystery:
1: Tie a Hole
2: and... you're done.

I am no golfer but - tie a hole -half ? Your done - finished ! So therefore my inescapable logic is ...... This car is half finished ! What's my prize

Half Finnish, half Nelson. Its an swing fronted Icelantic Wrestler. Might be on the wrong forum, there.

Is it true that that they are TW9 as that is the second have of the postcode to the factory?

It appears that we have drawn another master mystery car identifier out of his shell.
Don't feel too left out if you never saw one of this type, as only 28 were made some 33 years ago.
Try as I might, I was not successful posting full pics from the Internet.

Can someone else please post front/ side and rear views please?

I could not find proof of your hypothesis in a photo record.
However, by the lightning bolt on the front, apparent wheel size, and hub cap as well as lower body panel styling- and appearance of front marker lights- my guess is that you are correct that this is an even more frivolous Tielhol.

Incidentally, anyone know where to find such front marker light lenses?
Richard and Al - please strain memory banks.
