Just found this while clowning around on ebay. It's a 1963 Sabra, a sports car built in Israel. Like the Paykan, it's built to a British design, in this case the Reliant Sabre. It's not a terribly good car, to be frank -the Sabre was never a car to set the world alight. It is though, a slice of history, and a rare one at that; just over 200 were built in all.
To be honest, it's also hard to look at from the front, which is a shame because in profile, and from the rear, it's actually rather nicely proportioned.
It seems I've left this one rather late because the auction closes in about an hour and a half. But if you're interested, and very brave (it's going to be hell finding body parts for this thing) then you can follow the link here.
