Does his job involve working with raw materials ?
Partly, but the creator of this car's profession is so unusual that you could ask a thousand more questions and still not find the name of the car's builder.  So, I will make life easier for you and reveal that professionally he designed, created and built swimming pools!  Good luck...

Thanks for the hint, as it was indeed really hard to guess !

Is this swimming pool creator still active ?

My research doesn't indicate if he is still alive or not, but I imagine he will be as he was quite young when he created this car.  It is not de la Poype though.

No seems to be the answer as I've researched the name on line, and nothing appears connected with cars.

Very slow or no more answers from me now for a few days as I'm mega-busy preparing the finishing touches to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, so you have more time to research this one  ;)
