Correctly name the builder and model designation, and a point could be yours. Oh, and sorry for the poor quality photo  ???

Yes, it is based on a Citroen A-series chassis.

I've found another picture of this car, which is meant to be an evocation of the Bugatti Royale Esders Roadster based on a Citroën 2cv.

Not sure about the builder : is it Mr Leroy ?

It's not a child's car, but Oko94 is on the right lines, as it is a 2CV-based evocation of the Bugatti Royale.  It's builder is not a Mr Leroy though.

Judging by recent photos taken at Avignon, France, the car is called "Karine 6".  I only provide this information, because it was of no assistance in finding the builder.

Don't lock, I have no idea who built it.

Well done Sixtee5cuda, you are on your your way to completing the puzzle, as this is  called the 'Karine 6.'  Just the name of the car's builder needed now.  Happy hunting!

Sorry sixtee5cuda but I think I found the answer, the Karine 6 was made by Jean-Claude Fois.

Ouch, I hate it when that happens!  I am going to have to award a point each; one to Sixtee5cuda for correctly getting the Karine 6 name, and another to Ropat53 for naming the its builder; Jean-Claude Fois.  Well done both.
