No, really.
I've always been a fan of nasty little cars that punch far above their weight. While scrolling through Profil24's site with the vague intent of finally ordering one of their beetle-browed Porsche 550 coupé kits, I stopped to examine a garish, esoteric offering of something very French. Because, while its colors and sponsorship markings are way busier that I can generally tolerate, its lines caught my eye. And because I'd never heard of it.

"Why on Earth is this obscure, eye-watering, weird little bucket significant enough for P24 to have made the effort to produce it?" I asked myself. "They don't model Dodge Caravans. Gotta be a story there."
So I googled. And read.
There's definitely a story there. This is maybe the best distillation I've found:

I love reading stories like this.
