No, he died many, many years ago. The car that I'm after went out of production one year before he died.

Most peculiar detail is the reason why he bought this car.

Did he die in the 1960s?

Here's the first part. Maybe somebody else can find the car...

Godfried Bomans (March 2, 1913 The Hague – December 22, 1971, Bloemendaal) was a popular Dutch author and television personality and a prominent Dutch catholic. Much of his work remains untranslated into English.

He bought and drove an Autobianchi Primula, because he liked the name. There exists an magazine interview with him about his car. Is that the car we are looking for?
