Australia's Nota TYpe 4 (better known as the Nota Fang).
I think this one is from 1972.

That's a difficult one, as the Fang was made for quite a while. Judging from the girl's dress this picture was made in the 1980s but I'm not sure if this particular car is that young. So let me just guess: 1978.

I assume this one isn't locked anymore after 11 days.... Nota Fang TSS, built in Australia between 1968-1976

sorry, I forgot this puzzle.
I think is right to give 24 hrs  to Oswald to answer the question: after this I'll unlock

Sorry for that.
I have no idea about the year though. Please open it for others to fill in that part.

This one bugged me, so I wanted to know more. Here's what I found.
TSS stood for Track Sport Super and basically was a lightweight version for track use. The spec included a lighter chassis, four-wheel discs, an aero-screen and opening doors to qualify for production sportscar racing in Australia in the late 1970s.
I don't think this is a TSS.
