Yes indeed, that's the car.
Now would you like to have a stab at when it was clothed in this body, for your point?
Locked for you.

There are various different dates mentioned on the Web, including 1952, 1954, 1955, 1956 and 1957!
However, I believe 1952 to be the correct date for this glass fibre-bodied oddity so you've earned your point.

Well done.

It has been pictured here before, but only here in the News Information & Feedback section I believe.  It's never actually been a puzzle AFAIK.

I saw the original 10 years ago in Bruxelles.
Here I show two vintage photos of this car:
