You are so fast than I can't give more information about this spanis microcar. DAGSA means Defensa Anti Gas, S.A, that in English means something like: defense against gas LTD. Only a few prototypes were built in Segovia between  1951 and 1956.

See http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=9010.0 for another DAGSA, the "second prototype." Could the car in this newer puzzle be the first or third or something?

The car in my puzzle is the original "Citroen 2CV-like" Dagsa.
Have found one later, slightly more stylish model, that's all.

Yes, this is the same car as in my puzzle; it had the same registration number (probably not a real one but it might be) before I painted it out!
