I hardly know anything about this car, just what it is based on. Maybe you know more?

I remember I saw it in a facebook group some times ago...and I was sure about Renault, but I can't find it again.  Perhaps a R 21 engine?

It looks quite like one of those Motto-bodied Rosier Renaults of the early 1950s.
They were based on the Renault 4CV; any connection?

I remember that the owner thought that his car could be an Alpine Renault, but it was clear He was wrong.  I can't remember other model.
