You got it! I've always liked the Austin "Peanuts", but man are they tiny in person.

Hmmm....Pondering things like the grill that isn't a grill, the unhappy "high water pants" stance, the styling that apes a '68-72' Stingray, and the short wheelbase. I'm thinking the little beastie is based on a Beetle floorpan, but its not a Brazilian Puma, back to pondering.

Premiered in the fall of 68. Only 70 produced. 50 from the original manufacturer and another 20 by a second.

Congrats on pulling a really obscure one out of the past. Its the LMX Sirex (also sold as Sirex LMS), Italian bodied with a design by Scaglione, and the engine from a German market Ford.

OK, something else from the obscure side of things, this one might bug you. So what is it?

With the quickness that you identify these cars with, I didn't think I would ever stump you........persistence pays!!
