Who knows this car?

One point only for the correct basis car AND the coachbuilding company.

This is very frustrating, I've found pictures of a few cars, not many, but who made the conversion is never mentioned, even in Simca Club forum, so if it is a French coachbuiled, I'll have to try my next best guess, Figoni, they were responsible for the earlier Aronde cabriolets.

Well, this might be a little bit tricky, because the coachbuilder is not french... ;)
But very well known - maybe just try to find the country first.

May I book the first answer when Ropat shouldn't get the right answer?

Thank you, as soon as I stopped thinking French, I immediately recognized the Karmann badge on the front mudguard.
