Aston Martin Cygnet 2011-2012 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_iQ A total flop.

I worked on a electronic advertising brochure (distributed on a floppy disk) for the Aztec. What an ugly beast it was.

Only one entry got anywhere near it this week. matthijsgrit

It seems I can't count when sleepy. 300 does not come after 229. More likely I typed "2300" and my stupid laggy computer deleted the 2 instead of one of the 0s. Anyway, as it appears to have gone uncommented on or unnoticed so far, welcome to Auto ID #304. 1996 -1998 Suzuki Cervo C (for "Classic") or Maruti Zen Classic 1996 - 2003. (exact Indian date is hard to find. Definitely as early as 1999. Examples for sale are usually listed as 1996-2003.) The actual example shown is the Zen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Cervo

Not at all. Full cage.

Answers varied a little in that only a couple of you gave the manufacturer, and a couple of you didn't give the year, but what the hey - I'll list you here anyway because you actually found the weird little thing. Draggon matthijsgrit dw1603 Sixties Sam Matt Bacon

I don't think you could - too heavy!

I can assure you it is not a "Manual".

Would you believe this is currently a vehicle for the rich. Low center of gravity. High rate of acceleration. Handles like a sports car. Inline seating. Race harnesses. 2005 + Commuter Cars Tango T600 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commuter_Cars_Tango http://www.commutercars.com/

I'm done!

Different does not mean ugly. I don't mind it myself.

1942 Plymouth Sedan "Blackout" model. Brightwork was replaced with paint, due to war-time restrictions on the use of some materials. Any chrome on the car would have been from existing factory stock.

Well, if we were move to 1:1 scale, these things may be possible! (and no, that is not a reference to the possible scale of this weeks photo. I'm not telling that until friday!)

Cobraman, at the moment it looks like you are building a billiard table!

It's a 1/8th model. The only people who could afford these models would also be able to afford the car they are modeled after. $8000 to $16000+, just from looking at a couple of the prices! http://www.amalgamcollection.com/tailor-made-models/

Boot/trunk badge had "SIX" on it.

But we have been assured that this Take-a-Turn build is NOT a failure!
