This car has just been restored by my dad. It is extremely rare. It exists a few of them in the world. Contest: who is able to tell me the name and the type of this car? Small help: the Englishmen should be favorised in this contest, although this is not an English car...

I was going to guess MG miget of some kind, but that's a British car if I remember correctly. Was this car possibly used in a James Bond movie?

Caedes: nope. James Bond used only british cars, and BMW in recent movies

No new Sherlock Holmes?
Here is the answer: It is a SABRA made in Israel in sixties, on basis of plans of RELIANT SABRE (English car)
Ford motor, 90 HP.
It has been manufactured ± 140 copies, of which 8 known in Europe and ± 20 to USA

90 HP for 800 Kg, that's enough.

Probably... it just didn't sound like a whole ton, because my dad's new Nissan Maxima has 250 HP and it isn't a sports car...

This car also existed with a 6 cylinders motor of ± 150 HP.
In the sixties, just cars of legend (Ferrari, Porsche, Corvette,...) had a big power. European convertibles low-priced (MG, Triumph,...) had ± only 100 HP

Well, I drive it sometimes.
It's very funny, because the weight is light. It's like a cart. And the noise is beautiful, although it's not a 6 or 8 cylinders engine.
The problems are direction and brakes: no hydraulic assistance...
But with such a car, everyone looks at you! You are the King! :-D

And I thought the Aston Martin I saw on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco was sweet. Nice car Pierre, any pre-restoration photos?
