According to my Georgano Encyclopaedia of the Automobile, its original name was "The Aerodinamica". There seem to have been two versions, one with very exaggerated "Cadillac-ish" fins and a better looking version without. There was even a three wheeled version to entice Reliant Robin owners away from their horrible devices.

Yes, the one in the Reno Museum is without the Cadillac fins. 🍷

Don’t get me started on the Reliant Robin’ saw a guy drive one into a garage service pit, forgot it only had one wheel upfront. Reliant made the lovely Scimitar - Ford running gear if I remember. Princess Anne was stopped exceeding the speed limit on the M1 in a Scimitar. 🍷

The one with big fins, the X, had four wheels but strangely one in the middle front and back... as a rhombus… so three axles.

Ok, here is a crop for you to guess the next car.

No trapezoid, as a rhombus

Whilst well aware that I have myself been guilty of a tight crop (🙄) when required to disguise “giveaway” features of a particular car I’m wondering if I will need to look at available research articles on chrome trim strip finishes or maybe manufacturer paint codes to get anywhere near this.

Joking aside - there’s something very familiar but just-out-of-touch here…🤔
