1939 Vauxhall Roadster. Genuine Thai-registered body on top of a Toyota Lexus chassis. On the face of it, very neat.

Great looking car but it's not a roadster as a roadster is a convertible at least where I come from. On the other hand I don't remember a 2 door hardtop.

Maybe the body was shortened - hence 2 dr instead of 4dr - to fit on the Lexus chassis? Who knows, I certainly don't know what some body builder has done to the original bodywork? ????

The first pic reminds me of a Nash Rambler (from when I don't know)?

The last pic, a REAL De Lorean?

...and I wonder what "Lexus" chassis was used as Lexus cars are all monocoques and none have 4 stud wheels.

it's a Mitsuoka Himiko - about 4 million baht -

Great thing about this car (and other Mitsuokas really) is that it's based on the NC MX-5. So the Mitsuoka brand may be gone in Thailand but it's still easy and cheap to maintain.
