2CV based by the wheels. Production car? Or a kit car?

Some Renaults used those three lugged wheels too, in fact I think every French manufacturer did at some time, must have been a shortage of holes back then........

It is the japanese Mikasa coupé from about 1957-1961. Air-cooled twin-cylinder with about 20 hp and front wheel drive. There was also a similar convertible version and a different Mikasa station wagon.

I've seen only this picture of the coupe and each source I found report a Touring (convertible) and a Mark I (Station Wagon) version...could it be a Touring with an Hardtop?
