SOLVED: Djetset 776 - 1962 Erwin van Snick 2CV Coupe ''De Mosselschuit'

[Djetset]

Known for anything else ? 

Yes, quite a bit from what I gather, including acting!

Intriguing.

Was the car built during the sixties ?

This is a 2CV based Special, known as 'De Mosselschuit' ('the Mussel barge')
It was built by Erwin van Snick of Antwerp in 1959 - he was 17 years of age at the time.
The car was featured in a Belgian 1962 movie and a Belgian teenage magazine in 1963.
It's now fully restored.

Very well done Oswald, I thought you might be the man who would know! A well deserved point to you.

This is indeed the 2CV coupe special, built by the versatile Erwin van Snick and featured in his film 'Zomercapriolen', plus the Flemish teenage magazine 'Strip' (as per the front cover illustration below). The car was lost in woodland for many years, and has now been rebuilt after some years (photos of it today also below). 

Van Snick's 2CV used components from many other cars of the period, including glass from a Citroen DS and VW Beetle, as previously mention, plus the inner door skins of a Renault 4CV for the front wings/fenders, sections of VW doors for the gullwing doors, a 2CV ripple bonnet for the rear under valence and Citroen HY van side panels cut up for the lower front 'grille' area.

Weird but cool. Needs only a crate small-block and some bigger tires.

Thanks Carnut.  I said it was due to appear in print quite soon!  It is also due to be seen in a few more British and French magazine shortly too.
