Experts? You call yourself Experts?
Pro's will know.
Guess not. Not even the super pros. If you need a clue, please proffer a guess of some sort.
Are the buggies in the background from the same company?
Yes, I believe so.
This car was shown at the Turin Salon in 1971 by a Belgian firm.
My source (Quattroruote) does not mention the name.
Since it was from Belgium and also a Buggy maker, (and Otto wrote that the ones in the backgroud could be possible of the same maker) and since Apal was mentioned right above with a different buggy, I have 2 choices: Ritter and VanClee: the time should be right for a Ritter (1972-1973).
Isn't Ritter from Paris?
...it was Paris Salon 1971...
(BTW the car in the background looks VERY Apal...)
Ritter was from Belgium...

The caption for the photo says it was built by Apal, and designed by a gentleman you have not named. Locked for you for 24 hours.
No need to keep it locked, since I won't be home for some days and I can't look for the name.
Ritter worked on Apal chassis too, so if it's not Claude Thiry, what about Henry Rimbaud?
(taking for granted that is not Perry)
No; not one of those guys.
Am I allowed to guess?
Pauls seems to indicate "yes"
Please go! ;)
Probably wrong, but could it be Lucien Lepoix?
Not LL
It was designed by Philipe Jehgers for Apal and was powered by a Honda 250cc motor-cycle engine.
That's the ticket!
It´s been the Apal "Honda-Solar" Buggy, according to my source:
