For today's nice red car - what is it and from when does it date?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.

It's not that car, no.
That would actually have been a recent repost as the car you mention was my puzzle NEH 1312 in about October 2011, although curiously I can find absolutely no mention of it anywhere on AutoPuzzles, and despite having gone through all my own past posts I can see no sign of it ever having been posted, moved or solved!  Yet it was!
I don't know if anyone is able to throw any light on that?

I was going to post a link to it but of course am unable to do so.

Did it get merged with another puzzle?

I can't remember, but even if it did I should be able to find my original post by looking through my Own Posts in my profile, and I can't!  It's just not there!  Also I should then be able to find that car in its other puzzle just by searching for it..

Edit:  Now that you mention it, I think this car was also pictured in one of either woodinsight's or barrett's group puzzles, Conundrum or may one of the others.  Can either of them remember it?

2nd Edit:  I've found the car in woodinsight's #363 Conundrums; it's car No. 5, identified by Oguerrerob in his reply #57.

But there's still no mention of my NEH 1312; perhaps it all got removed because it had featured in woodinsight's puzzle?  If I were able to go back in time I'd probably find I removed it myself...!

It's not an R.G.S. Coupe is it?
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.
