Karn is as right as Paul, and once again I get caught having forgotten to check the former puzzles.
I leave it to an administrator to make it right: grant the point to Paul if deserved, and substract one from mine.

By nature I am a generous bloke - no points deducted.

I've given the inimitable Mr. Jaray a point for his answer.

The Website I got it from called it the Shark Coupe - hence it didn't show up in the Search again!
Any idea what El Tiburon means?  The Shark perhaps?!

Our french members will be pleased to learn that it's almost entirely based on a Renault 4 CV (the engine coming from a 1959 Dauphine)...

Now, what about this white convertible shown in Paul Jaray's last post?
That's another car, and another story.

Here it is, with  some more pictures, courtesy of Geoff Hacker.
