So it should looks like, yes, but it isn't.. :D
Is it a Daihatsu though?
Yes.
P-3 from 1966.
No.
Looks too P5-ish to be P1 or P2 and I've never heard of either P4 or P6. Still, it doesn't mean they did not exist, so is it also from P-series?
A great puzzle, though - really puzzling...
I was going to opt for a P-4 as well Faksta, but I wasn't aware if such a model existed! ???
Not one of the above mentioned... This thing is smaller than it appears...
Smaller than a P5? It had a 1.3L engine.
Yes!
Based on a Daihatsu Kei car model I assume (e.g. Fellow Max)?

It's getting really close. One part of the name is reveiled. The race is on!
It certainly looks to me like a scaled-down Daihatsu in the series that the Porshce appeared in.
I'm not really 'au fait' with these cars but I am interested to more learn about them.
I guess the puzzle car raced much earlier than the Porshce which I believe is a rather recent project.
Daihatsu Max Sport?
No, you accurately ruled out the correct part. :D
OK, how about Daihatsu Fellow Sport?

Close but no cigar... 'Daihatsu' and 'Fellow' are correct, but there's something missing.
Daihatsu Fellow SS?

Daihatsu Fellow SS?
Closer but there's still something missing.
I strongliy believe it was called Daihatsu Fellow __!
Is it locked?
No, as I've said the race is on. You were both pretty close so I reckon a lock doesn't make sense.
Should it be a 1970 Daihatsu Fellow 7 then?
:)
Quite amazing figures they have there - 356cc and 180 km/h.
Darn it; just found it, but just too slow too! :'( Well done Faksta.
It was funny. You've mentioned all from P-1 to P-6, but '7' was the right number.
It stands for Group 7, though - not a 7th model, as far as I understand. Still funny indeed :)
Thanks Djetset. Next time you'll beat me ;)
320 kg and 40 HP! I like those Japanese mini racers very much.
And sorry Djetset! Next time you will be the one who win.
100mm x 380mm x 700mm sound strange, by the way. Should they have an extra zero, I wonder or is it just a mockup and the specs are theoretical?
No, there's written 3, 100 mm; 1, 380 mm; 700 mm. The comma is slightly at the wrong position.
Ah, yes, now I see :)
Daihatsu had some pretty cool cars--I never knew! There sure aren't any here in the States!
