Szpalski is not the nickname I have for it, but must be the name of it's builder.
Because this info is more valuable than it's nickname, I award you the point.
Nickname that was displayed at the windscreen is 'Red Submarine'

Thanks PJ!
The photos on the rear window appear to show the car competing in some event - it would be interesting to learn more...

found recently, on an '80s French mag advert a small pic of a car very similar to this one, built by Tony Gillet

Although it doesn't sound very Belgian, on the internet, there is mentioned that Szpalski, the man who built it, was a Belgian.
Apparently, some information about this car can be found in the Dutch magazine 'Het Automobiel' from April 1984.
