This 1968 APAL Horizon GT is the second of just 10 examples produced and was originally owned by Edmond Pery, the founder of APAL (Application Polyester Armé de Liège). The Belgian company is perhaps most well known for its buggies, though beginning in 1961 they built approximately 150 coupes inspired by the Porsche Abarth Carrera. These cars utilized fiberglass bodywork over Volkswagen Beetle floor pans and running gear, as does this later design. The car remained unregistered until 2016 and is equipped with a Volkswagen 1.7L flat-four and 4-speed manual gearbox. It was sold earlier this year at the Bonhams Retromobile auction in Paris and is now being offered in Portugal with a clear Belgian transitional title.

Produced between 1968 and 1969, the mid-engined Horizon features a fiberglass body and a detachable roof panel that can be stowed in the boot. Body panels appear straight in photographs, and the seller reports that the exterior was refurbished some time ago.

This example was unregistered until 2016 and is said to have primarily been used as a show car and in exhibitions and classic races. It currently holds a Belgian transitional title as the seller planned on registering the car in Portgual.

Inside, the cabin is upholstered in black vinyl and features Smiths gauges, with 25k kilometers (~15,500 miles) indicated on the odometer.

While some APAL models were powered by Porsche engines, the majority used a Volkswagen powertrain. The 1.7L flat-four in this example is paired to a 4-speed manual transmission and produced approximately 100 horsepower, enough for a maximum speed of about 200 km/h when new. Mechanicals are said to have been refurbished, though all prior work was performed on the car by the APAL factory with no receipts available.
