I found the name of the body construction's inventor often spelled as Vizcaya. Who can shed some light on the correct name?

I have the right answer at home, but from memory I know that GV CREATIONS' reply is right, but don't recall the correct spelling.

The system Viscaya uses the principle of aluminum panels for the body is lighter: Viscaya filed the patent for this system.
 D'Ieteren took the License  ;)
