Yes that's the one! Well done, nice to see some rookie puzzles being solved....

Anyone care to elaborate on this? Not for a point, but because I'm sure there is an interesting story here that I'm unaware of.

Here's something Google-translated from <<< link removed >>>

"D. Vincenzo Angelino, truck manufacturer and owner of "Workshops Nazar SA", having sold the company to Barreiros, created the company "Bodies Zane, SA to manufacture buses. Vincenzo also tried creating another company making cars, the Spanish Society National Car, SA "(SEDAN). SEDAN was manufactured in the Mustang prototype, a 5-seater sedan and 4 door, equipped with a diesel engine Perkins 4-99, who apparently just got a government authorization to produce a pre-series of 25.

Sources say the 25 units approved only 23 were completed, 8 were in Spain and the rest had to be sent to Argentina, as its price above a Seat 1500 at the time made them unmarketable. Other sources claim that all copies but one were sent to Argentina. Which was in Spain was unfinished and a collector bought it and Zaragoza ended. All this happened between 1964 and 1965. Digging in history, it is said that the truth is that both the permit for the manufacture of the pre-25 units as the name "Mustang" the contributed D. Enrique López Patau that designs, manufactures and enrolled two prototypes in Barcelona with the trademark "Mustang" in 1959 or 1960 (before the appearance of the Ford Mustang). Enrique Lopez, would have gotten a permit to build 25 units. Following these events, link up, and in 1964, with the Lords Enrique López Patau Barcelona and Zaragoza Vincenzo Angelino agreed to develop a larger model using the mark and leave, that's the reason why it appears that "SEDAN" could only build 23 units remaining permit industry. However there are sources that do not share this deduction, since they assume that the copies really finishes were between 3 and 5."

Posting of links in the puzzle threads is prohibited, as outlined here:

This is your first warning.

But the puzzle was already solved.

"Some members may notice that the puzzle poster may, from time to time, include a “photo credit” link under a puzzle picture, after the puzzle is solved. This is done when the puzzle picture is clearly copyrighted, or when the source site – often a “Friends of AutoPuzzles” listed site – has granted permission to use their content, in return for a photo credit.

Note: Links to other sites and sources are welcome in non-puzzle posts and threads, except when such information is then linked to within a solved puzzle."

I assumed that "then" is the operative word on the last sentence. Foolish me.

Your omission of the very reason the rule was put in place, compounded by your focus upon - and misinterpretation of - the explanation of the occasional use of photo credits, seems to be the source of your (hopefully brief) bout of silliness:

"Rules, Part 2: Posting links that compromise the integrity of other puzzles.

It is incumbent upon the poster of a puzzle to declare an answer correct. Sometimes, members like to post the links to sites where they have found the answer to a puzzle, in an attempt to offer “proof” that their answer is correct. While this may seem harmless, it has also compromised the puzzle sources of many member who cannot afford to purchase expensive volumes of automotive history."
