Apologies - brain fade :doh:
I'll keep searching but first I have to pin down the country - Czechoslovakia?
Czechoslovakia was gone when this car was built. But it wasn't built in either CZ or SK
Built in one of the countries of the former Yugoslavia?
Yugoslavia was no more when this was built. It wasn't built in any of its ex-member states
Is it Austrian?
no, not from Austria
Estonia?
no
from "communist" country?
Yes
Hungarian?
yes
four cylinder engine?
yes
Oh my, I thought it was an old car, but seems it is a very new one - I think it's called Volhist GL-40 and is equipped with a 1043cc Volkkswagen 4-cyl. engine. Shot here during 2012 oldtimer show at Millenaris Velodrom, I suppose. If woodinsight didn't ask whether it was Hungarian and received a positive reply, it would have never hit me that the track was Millenaris velodrome, though :)
Yes, that was the party trick - this is a brand new car :)
And Faksta obviously found it. The Millenáris Velodrom is an old cycle track which is now hosting a classic car and motorcycle festival twice a year - kind of like a Hungarian Goodwood.
