Finally... something I actually know. That's a 1959 Rometsch designed by Bert Lawrence.

It is a Rometsch body, yes.

Oh, for some reason I thought it was too obvious to mention. The chassis (as was the case with the previous gen Rometsch, the Beeskow 'banana') came from the VW Type I 'Beetle' and - unless I'm wrong - from about 1957 onwards Okrasa engines were installed as standard.

We already had this car for a puzzle, as well as many other Rometsch. But as a convertible not a coupe. So, technically, it's not quite a repost.

I did check very thoroughly and decided it wasn't a repost!
Think most of the Rometsch production has featured now.
