A Simca-Abarth Replica?

It is based on a Simca and it's possible that it was inspired by the Simca-Abarths, although the builder didn't claim that.
So that's some progress!

Well, he designed this so you could say he was, but he's not a recognised  name in the car design world and he wasn't employed as a designer AFAIK.

I don't know what he was employed as, but I not an engineer.
Maybe he did do some designs for them, I don't know.
