It looks like a Porsche 356 Prototype...

EDIT : If i“m right it“s a number close to 356,a replacement for a 4-seater.

If not that, then maybe a Volkswagen Type 3 Prototype?

It's the Porsche code 555/2 project from 1953. There was a "fastback" (code 555/1) and this "ponton" version. I will scan the other one later.

Yes!  It's the Porsche 555 prototype (for VW) from 1953.
There were elements that were correct in what both Joao and Aaron65 said but I didn't want to lock it as I didn't think they were quite close enough.  But Allemano has given me exactly what I was looking for!

It's not a well-known car, and it's not easy to find info on, although I'm sure it is well-documented.
