Looks as if it's got a 2CV chassis, but I have no idea what it's called.

OK, not based on a 2CV chassis, but built using the components of another French car?

Yes, the 2 CV guess wasn't too far off.

So, a Renault 4 base in that case?

No, even closer to a 2CV.

I think so, but built by an (obscure) carrossier.

I think, Wendax, you might have been a little more encouraging of my '2cv base' post, as the Ami and 2CV share a chassis. :)

So a French coachbuilder working as a painter now, who built a car in the 1970s. Right?
