Leslie Adam was an Australian Engineer who created for himself a Electric Rotary Hybrid 1974 years before Hybrids of today have become more fashionable.
His car was called a Camira Coupe and Camira is Aborghinal Word I think from memory for Wind
See CAMIRA COUPE -HYBRID Australian Motor Manual* 1974 JUL Page 46-49 Issue 381 for Preview feature and photograph
Australian Motor Manual is now defunct Australian Monthy Magazine that was in Publication from around 1946 to 1981 (I Have indexed them to 1977) in 1981 magazine was renamed Car Australia who ceased around 1996
In New Zealand Wellington Public Cental Library has most copies 1958-1981 biggest holding and I understand the Archives in Canberra ACT Australia has them all
Note:
However the name Camira would be used on Holden's (General Motors Australia) version of GM J Car which in UK was called Vauxhall Cavalier and in Germany a Opel Ascona of 1984-1988 so obiviously Mr Adam did not patent his cars name
