Add a point to your collection by telling me exactly what this is (and sorry for the poor quality image).

Maybe a 1963 Alfa Romeo Zagato Sprint Veloce?

Yes it's an Alfa, but it's not a Zagato Sprint Veloce.

I don't know if it depends from the point of view, but it seems a saloon Giulietta, with a sport front...I think this car is a one-off.

Yes this Alfa is a one-off, but not quite as you describe it.

Not by Bertone, and not a Giulia Spider with a Berline roof attached.

A mix of Alfa series 750 and 105 as its base.

Was this one-off produced in another country (ie not in Italy?)

Yes, it's a one-off made in a country that is not Italy.

Time to move up to the Pros.  I'll give this one about 10 minutes before the correct answer is given.

A long shot but is it a prototype Tedesca Diva?

I thought PJ would be the one to get this.  Your are right PJ, though do you know what 'marque/brand' name Monsieur Bonjur used for this car.  Locked to you.

He was later part of VEBO.
I'll have a look in a certain book to see what's there.

No need to dig that book out PJ, as VEBO was the name I was looking for for this French modified Alfa.  Well done; another point to you.

I had a poor-quality rear 3/4 image of this car in my camera, but sadly that camera was stolen a few weeks back in Stuttgart, so the photo (plus many other AP potential puzzles) is lost, though it does appear in that book.
