Anyone know this car ? No, it's not 4-door version but when I accidentally found it, I think the lines have close similarities with the +2. The brand is called "Monica" and very few were made.

Yes, I have a road test of one in English from around 1971, I think.
I'll dig it out once I'm back at base.

It was a long winded, poorly timed effort to reintroduce a French luxury car - with British engineering and Italian body design.
A handful were eventually made with Chrysler V8s, and even fewer survived. Another footnote in automobile history.

"LawrenceTune Engines had developed a 2.6-litre version of the Standard engine used in the Triumph TR4."
I had a car with a Lawrence tune 2.2 litre TR lump, so
"Lawrence began to have second thoughts about using the LawrenceTune/Standard-Triumph engine. .. He also felt that this relatively heavy, rough, and noisy engine was not appropriate for a new luxury car."
I'd say he got that right!
