I'll make life a little easier;

 

[2b1ask1]

And one from the front but that's all you are getting till it is guessed!

Saw it yesterday going into a paint shop, a pretty cool spot...

 

[conaero]

First random guess, ISO although the headlights say Mercedes to me???

 

[2b1ask1]

Nope.....

There is a beetle association!

 

[Chrisbassett]

Might this be going in the right direction?


Seen at the cité de l'automobile in France, but can't remember the name...

 

[2b1ask1]

very warm Chris; I'm sure that will prompt someone for the name...

 

[2b1ask1]

Right nationality!

 

[Mr.Cambio]

close to the beetle is the Karman....

 

[2b1ask1]

Lateral thinking needed Nikos; more that one of these was owned by a Beetle....

 

[allandwf]

'tis a Facel Vega, Facel II ?

 

[Guest 1678]

'tis a Facel Vega, Facel II ?

Absolutely - a Facel Vega

 

[2b1ask1]

Top marks....

 

[2b1ask1]

Something akin to this beauty is the aim....

The Beetle was Ringo apparently!

 

[allandwf]

Stunning cars, big engines too, if I remember rightly.

 

[2b1ask1]

Ironically Chrysler V8 lumps yes....

 

[hodroyd]

Quite futuristic for the year..??

 

[Emtee]

I really do like the Facel Vega's. A bit like the Maserati 3500 and the later QP1, the Vega was regarded as the height of luxury and design in it's time.

I saw a group of them at Le Mans Classic. The HK500 is just beautiful, and is big money nowadays

 

[RSM Masser]

My guess was a Bristol - obviously wrong but I had never heard of of a Facel Vega.
Saw the spinner and thought it was foreign blurb for "loosen - tighten"
Or righty tighty - lefty loosely
