This one-off promotional model with body and frame in plexiglass was built for the Paris Motorshow in October 1954.
Does this showpiece still exist?
Update, A reader points out that in the second image, a headlight is missing and the wheels seem to be turning!

Probably buried somewhere in some obscure junkyard in Spain. Waiting for some YouTuber to come dig it out so they can 'get it running':) Would be nice to find tho.
Still exists, in good show conditions
for a complete (probably) list, please check the second link

I no understand Mr. G. I read this: See last word;)
Exposed for the first time at the Paris Motor Show (10. 1952). On 10. 1954 on the occasion of the Paris Motor Show, where it is exhibited again, it is modified by incorporating a complete body in transparent perspex of a BT 1. Previously the bodywork is removed and it is exposed during the second half of 1953 (Paris and London Halls) the mechanical group without chassis or body. Currently complete and in good exposure condition.
Scrapped
It seems (relying on Google translate) that the prototype was displayed in '52, again in '53 without body or frame, just the drivetrain? and then in '54 with acrylic frame and body- which was then scrapped? I guess?
Thanks, João, for the links!
If the wheels are on hidden rollers to allow movement, then there doesn't appear to be any chains to stop the chassis from accidentally moving off the stand.
