Finally, this is the answer.

The car is unique, it was built by Serra based on a 4CV for a spanish guy called Comacros.

So solutions given so far were wrong, call me thin skinned but.....

Puzzle with you soon

Cheers

So what is a "Large Coma"?

Coma - A diffuse, luminous cloud of dust and gas that develops around a comet's nucleus as it nears the sun.

Gros - large.

Big Comet?

My Espanol isn't what it used to be, but I gather from what I was able to translate on my own that this car was named for the people who were involved with its' conception and construction.  One thing for sure, it certainly is an improvement over the original4CV...

I'm afraid some of the topic subjects are not accurately titled ...  :-\
"Renault 4CV by Serra" would be easier to find as it only was built for Seņor Enrique Coma Cros.

"Toyota JP6" by Brock as well.  ;)

This car was built for Enrique Coma-Cros, the well known collector and authority on Pegaso - he has also written a number of books on the subject.
I'm sure Sr. Coma-Cros would be amused at his car being called a "Coma Gros" but I believe this is something that has originally been mistranslated on the 'net....... ;)
