That's the car, but it was built for that gentleman rather than by him.
Locked for you to answer the final question by saying who built it for him.

Here's another picture:

That's not the name I have.
It was built by a coachbuilder; who?
I'll keep it locked for you to have another go.

I don´t know, maybe you were looking for the name of the designer, Jaume Xifré. If not please unlock.

As far as I know, the Cordobán was shown at the 1969 Barcelona Show by a company called Autotécnica, based in Madrid.
However, Antonio Madueño is indeed the owner of the company, and therefore the author of the car, so basically CrazyAutopuzzler is right.

No-one has mentioned the name I'm looking for yet.
There was a feature in a magazine about who I'm looking for and this car was credited as being made by him.
The answer is not so difficult to find..

My source, to be transparent, is the book "Los Seat 124 & 1430" by Pablo Gimeno Valledor, that I'm considering a good source also for "Fiat 124 e 125 fuoriserie", that I'm still writing. So I'm curious to see what will come out from this puzzle.  ;)

Are you looking for the company Fibrapol, that made the body panels?
Or maybe Miquel Molons, founder of Selex?

In any case I also think CrazyAutopuzzler should get the point, because my info says the car was the fruit of a collaboration between Autotécnica (Madueño's company) and Selex (where Xifré was lead designer, and supervisor of this project) over a SEAT chassis. Selex subcontracted Fibrapol to make the fibre panels. Madueño's intention was to sell the car in small numbers, but that never came to pass.

I've been looking into this but I'm afraid my inability to speak Spanish has led me up the garden path..
The name I was looking for was Francisco Ejarque, as I understand that his coachworks built this car, but clearly that is not right.  The article about the Cordoban was next to one about Ejarque and I put 2 and 2 together and came up with something other than 4...

So I will accept the CrazyAutopuzzler's answer, give him a point and move it to solved.

Sorry for the confusion.
