OK, I think we'd better call it solved!
I had his name as Natalio Horcajo Garcia but I've also seen it as Natalio Garcia Horcajo and just as plain old Natalio Horcaja too, so I've no idea what's right!

This is the one and only Mini-Break Practico from 1956 with an air-cooled twin designed by Horcajo himself.
Well done.

The name is Horcajo, but as in Spanish the "H" is always mute, the pronunciation with or without it would be exactly the same.
The IMFAP (Industria Madrileña Fabricación Automóviles Populares) was designed by Horcajo and built by motorcycle maker Especialidades Mecánicas Sato.
This is what the puzzle car looked like when found buried on a farm in 2014.
