That looks like an Arkley Sprite
Not from Great Britain (both)...
Italian?
Not Italian...
Asian?
Japan!
After that, this man moved to America where estabilished another firm...and I think you know those sportscar....
..actually there were all one-off!
I have not managed to find any evidence that Vector designer Gerald Wiegert has been building a car in Japan - but that would certainly explain the 'W' in front of the rear wheel. Having said that, I expect I am still far from the truth. But I just can not get rid of the idea that I've seen this car before somewhere.
Hi, you've seen right...there is a 'W' on the side and it is the initial of the designer...but He came from Japan to the States because He is japanese...and I'm sure You've seen this car before because I took this pic from a not so obscure website...but I have to say that I've seen this car only there...
Watanabe? Wakatsuki? Washio? Or is it the first name? :)
I'm getting obsessed with this one...
"Masao" should tell you something...
Is it a Foreman?
Arejh was closer....not a Foreman...
The only Japanese car designer I have been able to find with a last name that starts with a W, is Audi's Satoshi Wada. Something tells me he isn't the guy, and obviously this design isn't a new creation. When you said Masao, I thought of racing car designer Masao Ono, but I haven't been able to find any information on a road car design from his pen - or, indeed, any mention of a career in the US building up another car brand.
Any more clues to give away?
There is a Japanese designer called Masao W. and you were very close in your previous post...I'm telling you almost everything (you almost find out everything..)...you are one-step to solve this....
Finally!!
Masao Watanabe, founder of DuoPower, creator of the DuoPower Afghan. This is the Watanabe Lycaon, a one-off that made its debut at the Second Annual Tokyo Racing Car Show in 1970.
The other car (which was quite a lot easier to find) is the Nissan Fairlady-based Basilic Roadster. Only three were built.
That's all absolutely correct...!!!!!!!!!
I think I know where you found those info....
I think I may have found that site as well as well - a dedicated Googler might solve any number of puzzles by exploring there. Alas, I haven't the time for the next couple of days. :(
I guess you like to see how it looks today:
(these Japanese cars are so tiny! )
I've found some more pics. An incredible looking car!
....and some more...
In the lower left is the picuture that helped me solve the other Watanabe puzzle. 8)
