It's obviously something pretending to be a Land Rover, the more I look it reminds me of the original Suzuki LJ80?

Is it some sort of LJ80 prototype?

Land Rover + boil wash

Reminds me of a Japanese pastiche a la Nissan Figaro or Mitsuoka Viewt.

Thanks. Never heard of it, but a quick glance in Georgano's Encyclopedia confirms that about 12 were made, and only 2 still exist. So I take it spare parts are at a premium. The tome spells it Albatros, and claims that it is named after the founder Albert Ross, which doesn't make sense in respect of the number of "s" letters. Albatross, get your albatross 'ere - gannet ripple.......

And it is one too. Now see if you can find the specific car (I don't think it should be particularly hard). smile

I should point out I havent looked yet but I'm fairly sure I know. It's close by so I can check easily.

I have a second pic that might give a better idea but I'll hold on that for now.
