ATW Charly
Yes, it is the Charly, an invalid's carriage built by Auto-Technik Walther (ATW). ATW was also responsible for many French microcars getting their Diesel engines replaced by 50 cc two-stroke engines to comply with German legislation in order to drive them without a car driver's license.
Please identify the below car and maker.

Is it a weatherproof buggy for people with disability?

That's my understanding for it, yes.
Up!
Made in Europe ?
Yes!
It certainly is closely related to the ATW Charly (https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2011-39/solved-wendax-151-atw-charly/). Is it German?
Not according to my source
On the original, full-size picture, "Charly" can be clearly read on the bonnet. According to the source it's the "Premium" or "Luxe" version, but on another photo it's called "Plus" so it's quite confusing.
I don't know what you mean with "original picture", but it seems somebody is taking credit for somebody else's work.
By "original picture" I mean that I've posted exactly the same picture as you (same car, same color, same angle) but with a much better size and quality, so obviously it's the original picture, whereas the one you've posted has been downsized and (probably) compressed.
Everywhere on the net this car is called "Charly". Even the many people who sell them as used cars on eBay call them "Charly"; why would they sell them as Charlies if they were something else ?

It would seem so. And still, this picture is used in almost the same form on a different manufacturer's site.
You do not look for the Italian company which built the Charly for ATW, don't you?

I do, actually.
I can't see that they are marketing the car under their own brand. They are just producing it. You wouldn't call a Jaguar E-Pace a Magna, wouldn't you?
To be fair, that's true. When I posted it, I wasn't actually aware it was made by them for another company. Assumption, the mother of all...
So, how to proceed now?
(Just for the record, the ATW Charly was designed and built by Molicar, with the thermoplastic body parts made by Target.)
I have both those company names as well. I suppose you solved it then. Molicar was the company I was looking for.
