Maybe Spanish?
Artes Guepardo, to be precise.

Yes it is Spanish, but it's not an Artes car.

I've found a picture of this exact car where it was identified as Artes Guepardo as far as I could understand. It looks different from Artes, but I thought it could have been some kind of modification or so.

Well, let's keep trying :)

P.S. Does it have Bultaco engine?

Although it looks like an Artes, it is not an Artes.  It is powered by a Bultaco engine though, which does narrow down ther choices.

It's not Tapias-Bultaco, is it?

It is, or a Tapias MT3 to give it its full, correct title.  Bravo, you've now got your 300th point,

 :P Had to try it, although on a picture I've seen the windscreen looked a bit different.

Thanks :)

I've got some poor-quality B&W photos with a slightly different look for the Tapias as well, so I will scan these in soon and upload them.
