SIMCA 1200 COUPE

No - you're moving away from the answer.
It is basically a Fiat 850 Coupé only it's not a Fiat..
That's the base but of course there's more to it than that.
I'll keep it locked for you for the moment.

Seat 850 Coupé by Cases brothers.
Powered by a 1430cc engine bored out to 1520cc.
Starting point was a 1000 coupe and some parts were taken from a 124.

...and just for information, I found it just googling "Seat 850 competicion" while oko94 posted his reply.
According to your clue it was "basically a Fiat 850 Coupé only it's not a Fiat".
Seat was the natural guess and google did the rest.

Race-prepared Seat 850 Coupé

Yes, but not quite enough info for the point..

Seat 850 Coupé by Cases brothers.
Powered by a 1430cc engine bored out to 1520cc.
Starting point was a 1000 coupe and some parts were taken from a 124.

..whilst this is just what I was looking for - SEAT 850 Coupé Cases - so it's PJ's point.  Well done.
There is a whole website dedicated to this car; note your reply Wendax but it's not the info I was looking for so it's still PJ's point.
