The whole engine and back wheel setup reminds me of an outboard motor on a boat for some reason. Similarly the linear gears thing reminds me of a motorcycle, something that makes sense given that the engine is a two stroke. Seem to me like much of the car is a minimalist "make do" kind of thing. Like the way the windows are raised and lowered, or how the door is stopped from opening too wide by a simple chain. So likely what we are looking at is a car made out of leftover parts from war time equipment. The back end of a motorcycle, the body plates of a aircraft, an so on. And heh, feeding "ilo motorcycle" into ddg brings up a certain wikipedia article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoffmann_%28motorcycle%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoffmann_%28motorcycle%29 And some way down that article there is talk about a microcar with a "suicide door" on the right side as the entry point...
