I´ve found a rare photo from the 1980s, showing the Sonic at a Glasurit fair stand:

It is certainly Albar Sonic related as it combines the headlight arrangement of the closed resp. T-bar roofed Albar Sonic GT with the rear end of the Albar Sonic Roadster (which had ellipsoid headlights as far as I can tell). Maybe it is the Snake Racing Sonic Targa (https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2015-44/solved-wendax-1654-snake-racing-sonic-targa/)?

The Albar Sonic kept on evolving during its production run. Some versions were quite different from the car you saw, but if you mix the front end of this targa version with the rest of the convertible below you end up with something very close.
