Ken, I think you've got its origin. Pretty much exactly. Amazing.

Though I think the one in the OP is a much later version, with the government-mandated "anti-head-whacker-bar".

I spent more than two days searching for this and I'd almost given up, then out of the blue I chanced upon it whilst researching something else. Now it seems to be everywhere I look. Asking the right question is critical.

Really is a cute little bugger. Interesting Ferrari connection too. Who'd a thunk.
