Thanks for the flurry of responses, I thought I was going to have to just have a guess myself!

Yes it is a Rene Bonnet Le Mans. Dug it out from ClassicCarCatalogue. Just click on a year (1963 in this case] and it gives lists of worldwide manufacturers by Country and just picked out Rene Bonnet out of curiosity.



Eventually morphed into MATRA in particular with the Djet model.

Nice to get the Whatsthisthen wrapped up!

...bit of Dubonnet Trivia

This 1932 poster



was by the same graphic artist, A.M. Cassandre, responsible for this classic Art Deco poster of Normandie.

First Officer; "Sorry Sir, man 'flu"
Captain; "Well, don't do it again, or transfer to a sailing vessel",
First Officer; "Will do, Sir"
