Maker/designer, Type, what is special about this car? Year? Which renowned construtors should have build this light car?

AFG GREGOIRE 1945

L'ingénieur J.A. Grégoire, constructeur des voitures à traction avant Tracta pendant les années vingt et trente, étudie pendant la guerre un prototype de voiture légère à carcasse aluminium.

Cette traction avant utilise un moteur à deux cylindres opposés de 600 cc, refroidi par air.

Il s'agit ici plus d'une voiture légère que d'une voiturette.

Elle devait être construite en grande série chez Simca et Panhard mais elle deviendra, sous une forme très modifiée, la Dyna-Panhard.

Quelques exemplaires seront construits sous licence en Angleterre et en Australie (par Kendall et Hartnett respectivement).

So in English for the interested:

AFG GREGOIRE 1945

The engineer J.A. Grégoire, builder of the front wheel drive car called Tracta during the 1920's & 1930's, studies during the war a light weight car prototype with an alluminum frame.

This front wheel drive is equiped with a 600 cc boxer engine, cooled by air.

This is more a light wheight car the a "voiturette".

Elle devait être construite en grande série chez Simca et Panhard mais elle deviendra, sous une forme très modifiée, la Dyna-Panhard.

Quelques exemplaires seront construits sous licence en Angleterre et en Australie (par Kendall et Hartnett respectivement).

Also:

It will be made in series by Simca and also by Panhard but in a very modified form as the Dyna-Panhard.

A few examples will also be made under licence in England and in Australia (as Kendall and Hartnett respectively).
