Looks a bit like the Dastle, but only a bit!

Not a Dastle
The name of this car is the owner's surname spelt in reverse (with the exception of one letter)

We had another car of this 'owner' here before, right?

I guess the name is not Rabelro, then?

It then appears to be George Henrotte's Ettorne from 1954. I looked at it before, but somehow didn't recognize the puzzle car in it.

That's the car!
Ettorne wasn't quite the owner's name spelt backwards but.......
George Henrotte went on to found the Piper marque with Bob Gayler in 1966.
