Slow down!  The rule is only one question at once..
However, it's not Italian, is front-engined AFAIK and is not air-cooled.

So this is not made by a vehicle manufacturer, is this then a kit car?

No, it's not a kit car.  It's the only one.

Looking at the replies, I wonder if you are sure its not air cooled and front engined. As I think I know what this is, but then it's most likely air cooled and rear engined....

Mogul

I might aswell say what I think it is, it's a Cheetah MK2 Le Grand from the mid sixties, only for or 4 of these cars were build. Made in California, by Aldin Le Grand. Powered by a BMW 700 air cooled boxer engine. And I suspect as it was used in the BMW cars in the back, it is fitted here at the rear, hence the air intakes at the back.

Carnut

Yes, that's the car.
I only said it was front-engine "As far as I know" but I was only going by the inlet and outlet vents at the front.
If you say it was rear-engine I'll go by your superior knowledge!
However, I was not aware that the BMW 700cc flat-twin engine was air-cooled; nothing I can find on the Internet confirms that?

It's solved anyway so you have a point. Well done.

Here's the original photo:

Here some pictures of the BMW 700 and it's engine.

Thanks.
Air-cooled it is!
Strange though that it's not mentioned on nearly every site.
