RHD, but LHD-pattern wipers.
Generic door mirrors.
That M badge is ringing a faint bell, but I can't think what. It's not quite Matchless.

It's a bit like a Motobecane badge, and I seem to remember them making microcars as well as their usual moped/scooter range.

Time to look in my 'Ford based Specials' book later...

Matchless is a winged M. car above looks like an M with a V in the background.

Yup.



Not Motobecane, either.

The round grille does say OSCA, but it isn't.

[lucido grigio]

Looking at the original pic a bit more, the bonnet fit is SO bad that it has to be glassfibre.
