Obviously this small beauty have a rear engine. Renault-based perhaps?

[Otto Puzzell]

It is!

[grobmotorix]

Is it a Rogue? Most probably not...

[Otto Puzzell]

No sir.

[Otto Puzzell]

Zoot allure! How can this remain unsolved!?

[SeaLion]

It is a Renault 750 Sport from 1954.

[Otto Puzzell]

Oui, Misure

[faksta]

Made by whom? By Renault themselves?

[Otto Puzzell]

DB, it seems

[faksta]

DB usually put their badge on their cars, which I can't see here. It doesn't mean that it's not a DB, I'm just not sure...

[Otto Puzzell]

It was for sale a while back, and the seller listed is as a "DB Renault 750 Sport"

[Allemano]

..and why there's no mentioning of "DB" in the title?

[Otto Puzzell]

That was not known when the puzzle was posted.

According to an article I found about this car, this should be the car raced by Gesmier in some Mille Miglia: it was a regular Berlina in 1954 (Gesmier-Queffeleant), then a barchetta in 1955 (just Gesmier), in 1956 with a different body as well as in 1957.
Not a word about the builder.
