Looks suprisingly pretty. Is it made by a professional coachbuilder?

Not that I'm aware of; I believe all the mechanical parts are 2CV.

I don't know if he was a professional or just a talented home-builder.
I've never heard of him nor come across anything else of his.

No.  That was a purely British effort produced in Slough.

Apparently it's a Piercave, made in 1962 in Saint-Etienne.
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

That's it!
Apparent made by a guy named Pierre Cave.
I don't know if he made anything else.
Well done.
