When the esteemed-ish Rob Emslie was running the Mystery Car section he would typically start off with some obscure fact or anniversary. Unfortunately I don’t have such powers. The cars he would post were often older, classics of you will. The part he would spotlight was always exclusive to that vehicle, or perhaps he’d trick you with a part commonly seen on a different but the one he’s highlighting. But I’m not that clever. Make and model, please.
Last week’s Mystery Car was solved rather quickly, answer after the jump.

If you guessed Alfa Romeo GTV, Mr. Mikado, you were right! Yea, it’s a few pieces short but it’s getting there.

And specially for Kamil, was this thing factory product or some home-brew thing:

What is it? I like it. Even the design works well after 30(?) years.
No, there were no such things factory Zuk campers. There were Zuk wagons, cargo vans, pickups, and chassis cabs which were often turned into cranes or tow trucks. They were modified for fire fighting duty, too.
This is a home made thing with 100% certainty.
They were indeed “a thing”.
