Anybody recognise this car?

It's on a public road but had to be pushed into a lay-by. Forty minutes later it left, very slowly, under its own steam. I wondered if the prats on Top Gear had been challenged to build the world's ugliest car.

Sorry for the poor quality but the photo was taken from several hundred yards away with a not very expensive digital camera.

Does anyone know who customised this car, out of what and why?

It's not mine, if that helps.

When you say it left 'under its own steam', was that meant literally?

I could have made made it a little more clear. AFAIK it wasn't steam driven and I assume it had a petrol engine but I wasn't there. I found the picture when I was recovering a couple of deleted photos from my sister's digital camera. (She knows I'm asking on the net).

So, it's not the Morris mobile.

Ye gods, I'd forgotten about the Pink Panther but now you come to mention it...

I believe you're probably right about the Netherlands flag. I had googled but even on a site which had all the flags of the world categorised by different styles I don't remember seeing it as a possibility unless there were so many to choose from I missed it. Thanks.

Yeah. They are poor photos, unfortunately.
