the article says it's a german "goggomobil".

I had an Australian built Goggomobil Dart, sadly sold it just 2 months
before a popular TV ad rocketed them to stardom. At least that was fast,
if the car wasn't.
Made by Hans Glas in W. Germany, who maybe should be more famous, or
perhaps infamous, for being the first to use a toothed timing belt drive
to a camshaft in a car in 1963, in their Glas 1600 Coupe. Glas were
eventually bought out by BMW.
Some Goggos had a Getrag solenoid-operated gearbox, via a tiny joystick
gear selector on the dashboard - amazing for such a basic car.
The Darts were often 400cc, not just 300cc as sometimes reported. The
engine/transaxle was extremely similar to some motorcycle engines that
later came from Japan, especially Suzuki - minus the differential of
course. All Goggos were 4 seaters, unusual in the bubblecar world.
The sedan as featured in the aero engine article, when fitted with the
250cc engine, reportedly can be driven in Germany without any licence
required, so they are still to be seen.
