It's a Burton, a Dutch-made Citroen 2CV-based kit car.

That would be too easy, and we've already had a Burton.
There may be a relation between the Burton and this car, but it's not what it's called.

It must be a very close relation indeed!  In fact if I were the Owner of Burton I would feel somewhat plagiarised.
Obviously though you have another name; not MVH?

(Below is a picture of a Burton just for comparison!):

I agree, of course. It may just be that the Burtons are sold in some countries under another name. My knowledge of their languages is null so I don't have the exact answer. Question would be, if that was: what country, what name?

Perhaps a "Le Patron" ? I remember these cars were made in a country of former Yugoslavia... But I can't remember on which brand.

The localization is correct. It souldn't be too hard to find the brand now. Locked for you 72 hours.

Interesting. On the Amistad website theu have a link to Burton Htvatska (Croatia) and Burton Car (Holland). I have a brochure of Sigueme Automoviles Canaria s.l. in Castelldefels (Spain) who also build the Burton. Still, Burton is a Dutch design  ;)

I was about to say no because i think that we already had had a Burton for a puzzle. The search engine finding none, I think you deseve one and added it to your account.
