what is this?
1 point for you!

This looks like the J.N.S. MK 1, also known as Lizzie, a one-off based on a 1.2-litre Renault 5. A 4-wheeler MK 2 was also made, using an R5 Gordini (Alpine) 1.4 engine.

Who did it? Locked for you!

Your question asked 'what is this?', not 'who built it?!' but it was made by John Nash in Kent, South East England, with JNS standing for John Nash Special.

I didn't mean you were wrong, far from the truth, incomplete or just close...I had it filed under 'Nash' and my memory told me it was a Special built by John Nash. Your answer was full of details but was missing of the only bit I had in that moment, the builder's name  ;)
There were too many matching points and the lock was there just to let you give me the name I needed to be sure:
I have an article written by Nash and it's called just Monoposto ('home maid' !) and another long description of it from a website where it was proposed for sale, calls it just 'Alfa Tribute'. Now I can be sure we are talking of the same car  :D

Thank you PJ, and sorry if my reply came over as curt; I was only joking  :)

This is a 'home maid' (one of the less saucy pictures of one on the 'Net...)
Perhaps they meant 'home made'!
