Was loooking around the net for an SP2 and came across this. Looks like a japanese fiat... or something.

Yes,
I think they were one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen

although the brazillian type 3 with rectangular headlamps isn't good looking either...

The Brazillian Karmann Ghia does resemble the fiat 850 fastback... only it was smaller...

I like the Brazilian Type 3 but like the round headlights from the later version 1970MY onwards, your picture is pre 1970MY.

The Brazilian Karmann Ghia was modelled on the 1600TC fastback prototype from 1968

I like the fastback based one, the one with square lights is a real stinker though..
