Google Lens/image search makes this kind of game far too easy.

The image shows a Vespa 400, a microcar produced by ACMA in France from 1957 to 1961, under license from Piaggio. Key details include:
It is a two-seater with space for luggage or small children behind the seats.
It features a rear-mounted, air-cooled, two-stroke, twin-cylinder engine.
It has a 3-speed gearbox (some models had 4-speed).
Its small size and light weight contribute to good handling and fuel efficiency (4.7 l/100 km).
Around 30,076 units were produced.
Unit-body construction, inspired by Vespa scooters, provides a strong and light body.

You’d have been as well putting up the link, easier than copying all the text and pasting it 👀😂

I think they were made by AC (!) and I remember someone putting one of the single cylinder engines in a Lambretta. Not sure what make of engine though.
