Solved: Allemano's № 675 - Devin (?) bodied Volkswagen by H. Souren

It looks familiar, but I don't think it's that easy...

Please respond below if you know the based make (really easy!) and the builder of this car. (rather difficult!)
My source provides indeed a name for this spider. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think it was really called like that. In this case base and the name of the builder's company is enough for a point!

If you haven't registered yet, you'll need to do so in order to reply and to post your own puzzles.

Not Devin according to my source – that would be too easy!

Renault Ondine ,Bruxelles 1961 ?

Geographically (regarding 'Bruxelles') you're getting closer, but it's not a Renault underneath.

Available also with VW chassis !

It does have a VW engine and powertrain.

So, which builder do you mean?

Reminded me of a Vopard; but it isn't, is it?

You're right it's not a Vopard.

Devin body, based on Volkswagen, offered by Souren (Aachen, Germany) in 1968?

Siata1 · September 02, 2011, 07:44:30 AM

Correction: my first source presented it in January 1967, it was possibly built in 1966.

You're apparently right, though I can't confirm if it's really a Devin body!
