What is the yellow and black roadster, then ?
 
Got lost in the shuffle didn't it? It's the latest iteration of the Elfin Clubman, known as the Type 5. Unlike earlier Elfins which used Corvette V8s(IIRC), the Type 5 uses the Turbo 4 from the Solistice GXP. Elfins hail from Down Under.

Yes, it is - and that is the only one I've ever seen. It's a Progres NC300, from about 1991/2 - grey import from Japan, of course. Interestingly, the badge on the back, and the front end, make no mention of Toyota at all - only the British tax disc in the windscreen gives the game away. I wonder if the Progres was sold in Japan as some sort of separate marque, in the way Dodge Darts were sometimes promoted as a separate make in the Sixties.

Yep:
It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up
That Model A body makes it look like a pup
It's got eight cylinders, uses them all
It's got overdrive, just won't stall
 
With a 4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust
With 4.11 gears you can really get lost
It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
The brakes are good, tires fair

 
By the way, what are "safety tubes" ? Inner tubes for the tires?

I used to think that as well, but I think it's actually prehistoric-speak for roll-bars.
