A friend of mine took this photo in Paris around 1981 and is wondering what on earth it is - does the mighty knowledge of PH have an answer ?




(He thinks it might have said "Renault" and possibly "8CV' somewhere on it and maybe even Kamouh - though it doesn't look a lot like the "Suncar")

It's fairly ugly, is what it is. What does the bonnet-catch logo say? I can't make it out.

AFAIK that's where he thinks it might say "Kamouh"

Yes it does. look at the vent on one side of the engine case on your photo versus the roadster here, as well as the 3-bolt wheels...


This information from http://www.valeurs-francaises.fr/web/spip.php?arti...

It looks like a Suncar with a Hardtop to me.

Here's one someone seems to have fitted a spirit of ecstacy to:


Bizarre.

Thanks all.

It is, then, a Suncar/Kamouth Arpege.
