It's the 1955 G.A.P. Sherpa, a small van made by La Générale Automobile Parisienne.

Between late 1954 and 1957 125 of these three-wheelers have been built. They used a Panhard Dyna engine and had 2x3 gears, 900 kgs load capacity and a top speed of 75 km/h. Brrr.

It's just that sometimes you remember the name, sometimes you don't.  I'm not used to tags, but it helps.
