Alpine A106

It is an Alpine A106, yes.
But that's just the name, not the 'full details' asked for in the puzzle question.
So in order to gain the point I still need:

- Who designed it?
- When?
- What is special about this particular Alpine?

Locked for 24 hours for you to answer these 3 questions!

Allemano Renault 4VC

Not close enough!  Not a Renault (although it is of course Renault 4CV-based) and not designed by Allemano.
It's locked for 24 hours for Brokkenpiloot to reply to now.

This is open for the Experts to have a go just to fill in the details Brokkenpiloot didn't give and answer the posed question fully.

Not really sure about it, but could this be the very first polyester body built on a 4CV platform Alpine A106 Mille Milles 1955??
Designed by Alpine founder Jean Rédelé himself. Produced in coöperation with the Chappe brothers, coachbuilders in Saint-Maur outside Paris who  were experts in plastic technologies

That gets us a bit further along, as it was indeed the very first Alpine built on a 4CV platform, launched in 1955 and known as the A106 Mille Miles..
But who designed it?
Will lock it for you for 24 hours to find the answer.
