As usual this is proving somewhat elusive so I must be missing a key word. Is it associated with any better known Simca modifiers like Barthe, Deho or Gordini?

No connection that I am aware of. The car was modified because it has an oversize engine, but AFAIK this was done by the owner/driver,

That's the answer. Well found, although I suppose a French website would be easier for you!  ;D

One point to SACO.
