Base is obvious, but who designed this convertible and for whom ? For 1 point.

It's Heuliez, but back then their design activities had another name, this is what you have to find (as well as who asked for this to be designed)

LOCKED for you to dig into

You can unlock this one. I've not been able to find any information on this specific car. It was probably done by France Design(Henri Heuliez).

It has been designed by Heuliez / France Design indeed !

Now the last bit of information to find is : who has sponsored this design ?

Unlocked to everyone.

Did France Design style this car for Renault to add some glamour to the bland R21?
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

No, this wasn't done for Renault.

As a prize given by a newspaper - maybe Le Monde?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Not that, but you're getting closer to the answer.

Therefore no relation with AMC/Alliance/Eagle.

This car has never been built, so it couldn't have been a prize for any kind of game.

In your previous answer "As a prize given by a newspaper - maybe Le Monde?" there was one relevant word, and it wasn't "prize".

Not Echappement, but a much better guess than Paris Match
