SOLVED: Djetset 1038 -1954 Austin-Healey 100 S by De Simon. Made for David S Ehrich Jr.

[Djetset]

For a point, who was the coachbuilder, and what was the base car?

[fromwien]

The base car was an Austin Healey. After an traffic accident, a new front end has been built up by an Italian...

[fromwien]

... bus manufacturer De Simon in Osoppo built up a very nice Italian shaped Austin Healey 100M

[Djetset]

Golly, that didn't last long. We obviously have similar reading tastes!

A full and complete answer for another point.

[fromwien]

We may have also the same tastes, depending real cars. I have the predecessor of the Djet in my collection...
Thanks for the point

[SACO]

Please , what is this car and by whom , for 1 point ! 

[Wendax]

Merged, because it is a recent repost.

[Carnut]

What's this and when was it built, by whom and for whom?:

[Carnut]

I was sure we'd had this one already but none of the search criteria I used would come up with the thread..
Now I know it's here:

https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/new-board/djetset-1038/msg519090/#msg519090

However, I have different information from that which solved the puzzle before, so I'm going to leave this puzzle where it is and see if anyone can come up with the answer I have. My answer was actually provided by the one who commissioned the body, so is highly likely to be the correct one.

The information that I'm asking for now is just: who built it and when?

Here's a rear view which doesn't help but looks nice!:

Frua?

[Carnut]

Not Frua.

[Carnut]

Experts?

I believe it is a 1954 Austin Haeley 100H rebuilt by Cattelan in 1955 after an accident. The owner was David S Ehrich, Jr.

[Carnut]

That's about the long and the short of it, yes. Well done.
As I already mentioned it's a repost but the builder credited with it in the previous puzzle is different from Fratelli Cattelan of Udine, who I understand actually rebuilt the car into this style after its accident. The information I have comes from David S. Ehrich Jr., who should know best!
