Who said Belgium?
It's wrong anyway!
Assuming it was you Ray, I can't answer any of the others since you're only allowed one guess at a time.
We have to have that rule otherwise there's nothing to stop one person putting multiple guesses (thousands even) to cover all angles!

Reply 21 said it's not from Belgium.

I understand the "one at a time" rule.  My poor attempt at humor was brought on by fatigue and sunburn.   :bag:

Nobody has actually asked: was it built in a European country?

Mind you if you go by the annual cheesefest which is Eurovision - there are almost 40 countries to choose from!

It is from Denmark.

Whoever is able to decipher the logo might find the name of its builder... CLOUAN D.K.???

1 point for Wendax for identifying the country of build.
Still 1 point on offer for definitively identifying who built it; since PJ has already said he knows I'll lock it for him for 24 hours to post it!

The nickname is Ciguar D55 (Citroen-Jaguar).
There were 2 of them, this one, 2cv-based, and another one, based on an Ami Super with a back fin in the 'Le Mans' style.
Builder should be Mr. Helmuth Flemming, who also built an Ami-based Cobra replica.
