In my case it is the opposite, I know the story from now to approximately the early 80's/late 70's. The last known owner was leading a Citroen garage in Marseille, France (specialized in Panhard, and I know by some people that he had had switzerland customers). I supposed the car has been crashed because pedals are wrong fitting and the oil tank has moved to the back. It might be a coincidence!

AM57 was "restored" by a Mr Mathevet in France many years ago.
It had an MAE engine with twin downdraft carbs.
I have a few photos of the car going back to that time.
Because of the wrong pedal arrangement (and probably some other reasons), someone tried later on to sell this car as BT6 !
Incidentally, I owned a few years ago AM56 that had come from Switzerland and had been fitted with an ugly Sbarro bodywork.
