The only post-WW ll Swiss cars I'm familiar with are Monteverdi and Enzmann, and this car is definitely NOT one of either of those...

The fact that it's LHD tends to rule ot anything British...is it French?

Not a Simca, Monteverdi or Enzmann, nor is it French, nor a one-off. The car was indeed photographed in Switzerland.

Something about the rear reminds me of BMW 1600.

But what do I know?

Otto Puzzell · November 12, 2006, 10:40:30 AM

I can see the resemblance.

A Glas?

Otto Puzzell · November 13, 2006, 03:23:10 AM

No.

Tifosi · November 13, 2006, 05:02:16 AM

Facellia?

Dan

Otto Puzzell · November 13, 2006, 05:10:50 AM

Nope. The brand is pretty mainstream, but less than 10 of this type were built.

Arthur Dent · November 13, 2006, 11:59:31 AM

Peugeot maybe?

Otto Puzzell · November 13, 2006, 12:55:15 PM

Not a Peugeot.

1963 Ford Anglia 105 SE Spyder by Frua...

Dan

Otto Puzzell · November 15, 2006, 03:29:33 AM

No.

Tifosi · November 15, 2006, 04:36:41 AM

Is it a 1964 Opel Kadett A Italsuisse Spider, again by Frua?

Dan

Otto Puzzell · November 15, 2006, 04:42:57 AM

That's the ticket!

What I don't understand is how you could confuse the Anglia for the Kadette...

Tifosi · November 15, 2006, 05:38:13 AM

Well, they ARE the same color...

Dan

Allemano · June 21, 2009, 07:31:27 AM

I propose to add the name of the coachbuilder to the topic's subject...
