Posting on behalf of a friend on another forum who found this, but has no idea what it is. It has stumped the experts on that site, so I thought I'd start by asking a different group of experts.

Rear portion is definitely homemade. I'd like to see the front. Kinda looks similar to a Kellison.

Possibly the front view:

It looks like a single axle trailer.

Hard to tell with all that garbage heaped up on it.

That indeed would be the front. I did not know there was an image from another angle. thanks!

I googled "bad gt40 kit car" and didn't find anything like that. Maybe I should try "terrible gt40 kit car" or "horrible Ferrari kit car"

I see:

  • high hopes
  • good intentions
  • too many excuses
  • failed dreams

I'd be really tempted to hook the trailer up and drag it all back to my place for like $50 bucks.

Didn't Speed Racer race against one of those?

I think I've found the answer: Daren GT, 1968.

There may be better photos if you google 1967 Daren Mk 1.

Looks like it's made out of metal.

Gives it a bit more of an excuse for looking a bit strange then the various fiberglass cars like this.

Where is this thing? The flora makes me think its in some banana republic like Cuba. If its metal, I bet its worth a bit.

On the tentenths forum, the car was sold to Singapore. I would hazard a guess that's where the picture was taken, or somewhere else in southeast Asia.
