I think this one might be a re-post, so if the Rookies don't get it I may have to merge it rather than move it up to the Experts.
We'll see..

It's not actually a re-post as this is a different model from the one in the previous puzzle; hence I'm moving it to Expert level..

Not sure whether it's based on a Dixi, although there is possibly a connection..

Not French.
Not Italian.
Not German.
I was closer when I mentioned Dixi, but it's not A7 related.

Is it based on a pre-war car ?

I said I didn't know if it was based on a Dixi, ergo I don't actually know what it's based on, so I can't answer that!
But I said there might be some Dixi connection, so that must mean either it could be based on one or there could be some other connection..

Oh heck. Why did I start on this one? There's a Mustang in the background, and next to that what appears to be a Porsche 944, with W-reg British plates. So the "show" could well be in the UK.

The reference to Dixi could be BMW - is it powered by a BMW 500cc bike engine. (Grasping at straws!)

So maybe an engine from the BMW-Isetta range.  245cc ?
