Another microcar that I don't believe has been posted before (I can't find it on a search)

Identify the make and year to gain a point.

Huracán, made in Barcelona by Huracan Motors, S.A. with Hispano Villiers 197 c.c. single cilynder. Presented in the Barcelon Trade Show of 1958. Just a single prototype was made.

Yes that's the car.
Somehow I knew you would guess that one easily.
Are there any other photos available? - this is the only one I've seen.
Another point for you.

The unaltered photo -

This is the only picture that I know from the car, incidentally I remember see it myself in the trade show when I was a little bit younger...

Okay thanks.
1958 was a long time go - I was 18 then - those were the days!

When I solved this puzzle in 2012, woodinsight asked if I knew any other pictures of the same vehicle. At that time I thought it was the only one published, but recently I found a magazine of the time that includes a different one in the same booth of the Fair of Barcelona but taken from the right side so it does not interfere with the descriptive poster. The photo is small and it is in a magazine of little circulation and is of low resolution but I think it is better than the initial in the puzzle
