Who knows this car / conversion?

Renault Fuego Cabriolet converted by the French coachbuilders Heuliez?

[grobmotorix]

The first part of the answer is correct, but not enough to award a point, because it was not made by Heuliez.

I still need to know the name of the conversion company.

Heuliez is the only coachbuilder that I know of that did conversions of this kind to the Fuego...unless its a product of the collaboration of Renault and American Motors.  If it is an American Motors conversion, (Which judging but the red ring tyres and rear spoiler then it could be), then it is a pre-production model as for the road the car required side repeater lights bigger bumpers and recessed lights to conform to US regs.

Leave it open to somebodyelse.

O.K., it´s open for all - and is not a creation for or from the USA.

Conversion by Axel Einfeldt?  Found a reference to this guy who found a Fuego in nice condition but with roof damage, so he cut the roof off............is this one of his?

This is your point!

According to my source he did around 10 of those Renault Fuego convertible conversions.

These Renault Fuego Cabriolets were built from 1983 to 1985 by Renault dealer Axel Einfeldt in Geesthacht, Germany (near Hamburg). He converted 12 cars.
