That's a French Inter, presented at the Salon de Paris in 1953. It was produced by aircraft factory SNCAN (Societé Nationale de Constructions Aéronautiques du Nord). It had a rear mounted 175 cc one-cylinder two-stroke Ydral engine and was able to reach 80 km/h.
A few hundred of these were built until 1956, some were even sold 'new' as late as 1958, and also some were sold outside of France (i.e. in Switzerland)

That's why I couldn't find the name...this is the Swiss version, do you know the name? (if there is a specific one)

I don't think they used a different name in Switzerland (though one never knows...), but I found this (very short) scene on Youtube via googling on SNCAN Inter in CH: http://www.honda-geneve.com/video/video/yVj3WKXXz7k  :)
It's a pity that the car has a French license plate, though....

Thank you!
My source reported that this was a swiss car, that's why I didn't notice that is an Inter. I did not know that it was built under license in Switzerland, so technically this is not a repost!
Well done!
