A hot hatch.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and the two coachbuilders involved.

Velkommen, Lofotleif!
It is a Volvo 242, that was the obvious part. The coachbuilder is much more obscure and not Italian.

Was the coachbuilder German?  Karmann perhaps?

Well found. It is a Volvo 242 hatchback conversion, of which the metalwork was done by Carrosserie Kayedjian from Pusignan near Lyon. The car was completed at Carrosserie Vidon, which is from Pusignan, too.
