A Steyr Puch it is!
Built in Austria. The distinctive emblem on the front gives this away. You guys are too good.

Found a pic of the Steyr Puch engine .They didnt use the Fiat twin ,but a flat twin of there own ,wouldnt be suprised if it had some BMW motorbike heritage. This one was 817cc ,but I see they went as much as 950. The car had some competition success
Monte Carlo Rally, If I remember. I had a Fiat 500 about 40 odd years ago--lot of fun.

They're fantastic little cars - much better than the original Fiats - built by the Austrian arms manufacturers. Today they are very collectible - have become cult cars because of their durability etc. Very cool. I bought one in the late seventies and spent six months trashing it around Europe before selling it at a profit.

Okay, here's another one. Besides the obvious "what is it", what was it's mechanical claim to fame?
Bonus points: Who was the engine manufacturer for this car?

and they were twin cam. Motor may have been French. I may be totally wrong--I should get a life!!

Bob, it's not a Salmson. It's a very British car, but not one made by the British division of the French Salmson company.
And it's engine came from another country altogether. And hey, I need a life as well.
