That was fast!
I've found not much of it on the internet so I've guessed it would take more time to solve it...

That's what I have: (may be not accurate)

1977 - ? Ets. Dupport, St. Férréol, Faverges

The Establissement Duport in Saint Férréol came in 1977 with a diesel small car on the market. The engine came from Lombardini (510 cubic centimeters) and the model also became known as a Duport-Caddy. A four-seater with the name Parco which proved his efficiency on the rally Paris-Dakar followed the Caddy in 1981.

I think that's all accurate. To M Duport goes the honour of persuading the French authorities, in 1976, to class larger-engined diesel cars in the same tax class as the tiny voiturettes. Nowadays, they're pretty much all diesel. Duport existed right up until 1994.
