a renault reinastella?

Now we're on the right track! I still need the name of the builder of the body, but the point is held for you!

Full disclosure - I don't currently have access to the original which has the full name so unless you can provide an internet source I cannot confirm the coachbuilder until my computer is rebuilt.

I'm sure you know the "No links allowed" rule exekiel.

Well I think that despite the link being removed there's enough evidence on the internet that you are correct. (Coincidentally it's from a guy who sources his images from the same books as me, but instead places them on ebay and amazon as 'factory photos' to get money from them. A rather unscrupulous way to go about things if you ask me...)
 
I also found this other rather wonderful drawing which supports the solve, so the point is yours!

If a puzzler wants to provide a link to prove his identification then it should be done via PM!
