Make and model designation, please

1956 PORSCHE 1600 BEUTLER COUPE, that's what my sources reveal about this particular car even if some claim it is based on a 356A or 356B type.

I do not believe that is the correct model designation. A car of this exact type is exhibited in a very well-known car museum, and it has a more accurate designation than "1600".

VW Beutler 696 Porsche?? Golden car with white roof  was equipped with a Porsche 356 A 1600 Super engine (75BHP). It is also displayed in Wolfsburg Volkswagen museum named "VW Porsche Beutler Typ 57", but actually is different from the red one you've posted.
This particular red one was shown on Geneve Autosalon 2005 '100 years of Swiss coachwork'.
It was in private use of Mr. Beutler himself till the late nineties. It is simply called "1956 Porsche 1600 Beutler coupe"
There also exists a very similar yellow car which is called (1958) Beutler Porsche 356B, but that one has sharper fins at the back wings.

I'm looking forward for the first I'll introduce here..

I couldn't find any differences between this car and the 696, apart from the two-tone paint job. But you obviously know what you're talking about, and I stand corrected!
