56 of them were built, first one shown at the Brussels car show in 1964 - as a Belgian coachbuilder, it is maybe not surprising that Jacques Coune used the front and back screens from a Renault 8 and tailights from a Simca 1100. No idea on dimensions, but again given that it is a coachbuilder's creation, dont expect the major dimensions (wheel base, wheel track etc to change if at all, but expect about every external panel to have some modification or other to it. Try the MG Car Club, and perhaps the MGOC, to see if they know more or where there is one to go and measure!
