Does anyone know what this handsome car is? I don't know what it is - indeed all I know is that it appeared at the Tokyo Auto Salon a few years back and that it has a Suzuki 660cc engine.
Any ideas?
Slightly embarrassed that I'm answering my own puzzle here, but I've finally discovered the identity of this car. It's Mooncraft's Project Child, based on a Suzuki Alto. Apparently the designer was inspired by Panhard designs...
Still, you could have left it as a puzzle for the rest of us to worry about ;)
Maybe I should have left it up - but I'd just read the thread about there being too many puzzles. One less I guess...
I think this car is MONOCRAFT, not Mooncraft. The official website http://ab-carsshow.com, but it looks there are no info about that particular car there, so maybe anyone has any more details?

It's rather confusing as there are two brands in Japan with very similar names - Monocraft and Mooncraft. I think this project came from Mooncraft but I can't be 100% sure as my Japanese isn't fantastic.
I think You are right.. I have never heard about MOONCRAFT before, but there's their offical website: http://www.mooncraft.jp/eng/ that unfortunately doesn't provide any information about this particular car :( (It has something about the other Mooncraft that is already solved - the MOKE Sport). To find the any more pictures online also seems to be very hard task :(

Do You rember where You have found that car? ;)
Here it is! :yeah: finaly I managed to find the correct name and additional information (most in Japanese :( about this very intersting car. It is named Mooncraft Koshiden* (presented in 2006) and was designed by Japanese designer Takuya Yura.
* I say Koshiden because most webpages has it as Koshiden, but the end of the automobile is marked with the name Coshiden...
I also add some pictures to enjoy!
Many thanks for the extra info. I suspect Coshiden translates as Project Child
