A car! Yes, it’s a car, and a very, very special one.

Yes. You see things like these every day. Maybe you own one yourself.

A thing like this? So is this thing an otherwise regular thing except that these six are special?

Not really, though many people find it beautiful.
Another material necessary for a thing like this is rubber.

No, it was constructed later.
One last clue before before I log out: The plan was to make 25 of them and sell them to the royalty. In the end they only made six (or maybe seven?).
And I may have been wrong at one point: According to Wiki, only two (not three, but including this one) were sold for next to nothing after WWII.

Yes, it was made in France. Somebody must know where it is, but it’s not public. Every now and then it is displayed. Where it is right now, I cannot tell. I think you’re getting warmer.
Trivia: App. 6.4 m long.

Most of it, yes. But also other materials like wood and leather. (Giveaway?)
Rumour: The present owner is Japanese.
Fact (according to Wiki and other sources): It has been shown in recent years by a Swiss broker.

It was.
Trivia: Today each of the "siblings" are worth at least 10 million British pounds. Pretty expensive refrigerators.

Not at all.
Trivia: In addition to the three "siblings" already mentioned, there are three more. All of them are different and have their own nickname. Some people think there might be a seventh one, but it’s probably only a myth.
