From what I understand it was built by NISMO for super pop star Masahiko "Matchy" Kondo in about 1982.

He was the mascot of the March advertising campaign and here he is in the car (judging by his name on the helmet and on the side of the car).

He has since had a successful career as both a driver and as team chief of KONDO Racing Team -
