A postwar BMW-based car?  An AFM perhaps.

Is it actually a Veritas?  Diplomatically renamed with a politically acceptable French name?

Marcel Balsa ran a 328 engine sports/racer in the early 50s, in addition to his F2 car. Any connection?

It looks rather Gordini like, but I have never heard of a BMW powered Gordini except for one built by German driver Roland Mall.

I am running out of straws to clutch.

I have never heard of Roger Deho involved with anything other than Simca, so can we eliminate him?

Can I just check I have understood this correctly? This is a French BMW based car known by the name of its driver, who is therefore also French. This same driver also had an f2 car - presumably also French. Presumably it carried the same name? Is the 328 engined car you mention, the puzzle car.
