very interesting...Looking for information about this car in forums, there are two main options, a transformation on a volkswagen beetle or a modified Tatra t602 https://www.forocoches.com/foro/showthread.php?t=6296247 Link to "www.pieldetoro.net" What do you think?  |

Probably front-engined (see its other page with bonnet open) so VW unlikely?? |

I think VW could be a very strong possibility. The "opened bonnet" ( as seen here ) could be just a boot/trunk or just a compartment for other necessities. There are many visible vents at the back ( seen better here ). Furthermore, aren't these the VW wheels ?? : Link to "wheelwell.com" |

Indeed, the wheels are VW...In the forum they also talk about the steering wheel shifted to the center and the headlights,both typical of VW |

I know I'm way overdue to respond, but thank you so much for solving this mystery  I guess we can call it 'Oliver Special', just like the writer, which I believe is you, of that very interesting piece called it. Is this technically the first Moroccan sports car? As I understand Ramón Oliver was from Spain, but his workshop was based in Tangier, and the Spanish protectorate in Northern Morocco ended in 1956. |
