I'm looking for the company who made this + the car it is based on.

Please Unlock...I suppose this car is not a simple DS from a '50-'60 coachbuilder, but a sort of custom, and this is not my hunting field.

This car is not a one-off, but a small series was made.

Unlocked.

This car is called Eleonore : it is a Citroën DS ( or ID ) rebodied by Jean-Claude Foïs, a coachbuilder from southeastern France, in the 80s.

Correct, although my source says they were made in 1977, so the company must already have been active back then.
Apparently, the polyester body parts were just glued on the original body
