Easy to guess the base car but who was responsible for the coachwork?
One point for the correct answer.

There is an Italian connection, though it wasn't actually built in Italy.  Base is a bit obvious!

That's all correct, yes.
But who built it?
Still locked for you to complete.

You're getting there.
But you still haven't mentioned what the car was actually called (in addition the names already mentioned).
There was one particular name which was crucial to what the car was; what is it?

Quite so!
It's actually a repost but the name 'Gété' was not mentioned before.  It will nevertheless be merged.
'Gété' was of course a play on the French pronunciation of 'GT'.
