    It's a coach-builder and I'm not sure oif they may have done some German autos though.

    Did plenty of Italian, French and British, so in all likelihood they may have.
    So you MAY see their badge on a German auto makers chassis. not sure.

    in relation to post war Swiss I can only think of Graber, Sbarro and Monteverdi, and none of them meet your description.

    One part of the name is unusual as the coachbuilder hd NOTHING to do with the famous name but only asked them if he coudl use it in his own country and they agreed
    So the first part of the name is a well known Italian. The second part ss French and the hint is in the badge itself.

    Wow, either this has become boring or I've found a really hard one.

    OK, another hint, they're Swiss.

    just spent 10 minutes on google, looking for Swiss coach builders, nothing coming up, just Gangloff, Graber and Hartmann.

    (NB, it does not help much if the same hint is given twice )

    None so far.

    So more hints

    Pietro Frua designed some of their cars.

    and here's the Lotus body

    Frua has designed for Monteverdi, but I would consider that a car builder and not a coach builder.
