The photo corresponds to the presentation in the "XXV Feria de Zaragoza" of 1966 of a  coupe type body  for the car SEDAN Mustang that was constructed only in saloon type of 4 doors. The body of the coupe was plastic but it did not get to install the mechanic. Of the saloon model with metal body only 25 units were built. See attached photos of the coupe body under construction and a 4-door saloon complete

First rectified the date of the photo, in fact is October 1965. An Italian named Vincenzo Angelino founded in the late '50s, in Zaragoza (Spain) a factory of trucks and buses with the brand NAZAR after manufacturing several hundreds of vehicles were absorbed by Barreiros. Then Vincenzo Angelino founded another company called ZANE dedicated to rebodier old buses that was actually his specialty, As part of the same group in 1964 created the company S.E.D.A.N. (Sociedad Española de Automóviles Nacionales) with the intention of manufacturing vehicles in competition with the Seat 1400 but with Perkins Diesel engine using MUSTANG as model name, that had been registered by a partner of him before that Ford model appeared.
In summary: The brand, model and coachbuilder is: Brand: S.E.D.A.N. Model MUSTANG Cupé, body built in the ZANE factory, SEDAN shared the facilities of ZANE in its short existence.

Sorry Saco, you have to modify the title of the puzzle, that car has nothing to do with Seat, except that it was an attempt to make a model to compete with its 1500 model. The correct title should be: S.E.D.A.N. Mustang Cupé by ZANE
Anyway thanks for the point.

As I read in some magazine, at its time, the model 4 doors of SEDAN built by Zane was made taking as a model of dimensions the Seat 1500 and the same thing happened with the coupe, but since the latter has never received the mechanical components can not be confirmed which of the two mechanics would definitely be used, although it would seem logical to think that could be the same one that was used in the model of SEDAN, which lack of continuity  also caused the coupe to be abandoned while the Seat 1500 was continued been build several years.
