Default Aston? Help?

I found the car in the pictures in the yard of an unused warehouse in an industrial area. Please help me identify this, as I think it might be valuable and fun, and I think I might be able to steal (figuratively) it. I first thought it might be a Sunbeam Venezia, but it's not. In addition to the pictures, Other clues/individualized items. Roll-up windows but never had a radio (track history?); It looks like it may have been glazed before painted--another indication of coach-built; There is some type of selector at 12:00 just behind the steering wheel--never saw this before; Vertical A-pillar with highly formed windshield seems odd (and fiftysish), but speedo with idiot lights looks sixties; no engine currently; two seater or two plus two, not a full coupe; horn ring on backside of wheel. I have no idea what the logo/nameplate says, and there is not another badge to be found. On the picture that comes up, scroll backwards for a grille, rear end, and dash.

Thank you very much. My Sunbeam Tiger site and British Car site didn't get it. Crossfire people apparently are the most knowledgeable. Sorta right on the coach built guess though, as it says built by Facel for Simca. I won't be trying to buy this car as there is no amount of money at which it is 'stolen.'

My pleasure. Grandmother was French so I knew the name... Just had to find the right model. Not much value in them.
