I think "Tuneado" just means that it has been tuned, and the Andino base car was built in 1970.

Andino Miura
Andino Tuneado from 1970
I think "Tuneado" just means that it has been tuned, and the Andino base car was built in 1970.
I have the following:

Base Vehicle
Manufacturer: Automóviles del Ecuador S.A.
Brand/Make: AYMESA (Automóviles y Máquinas del Ecuador)
Model: Andino (also marketed as Andino Miura)

Puzzle Vehicle
Builder: XXXXXX
Model/Name: Tuneado*
 
24-hour lock for luisps and pguillem. The first of you two to provide the builder's name gets the point.

*This could be incorrect, as pointed out by Wendax. However, the puzzle vehicle wears a stylized badge that appears to say "Tuneado" (digitally removed from the puzzle image).

By the way, I don't believe the base vehicle was manufactured prior to 1972.

I just found the image taken by Juan Guillermo Garcia in Azogues. The identification was made by him.

Since you have seen the un-altered image, the builder's name should be apparent to you.

Zooming on the image, the inscriptions are not very legible


- on the grille : Tell___r
- on the left side of the hood : M200_P (P is inverted), LOL_ (below)

I can't guess more

You found the specific vehicle, so the point goes to you. I believe there was more information available online when I first encountered this image, but here is what I'm seeing now:
