Jacques Coune started his coach building workshop in the mid 50s in Brussels
working mainly on expensive thoroughbreds like Jaguars, Aston Martins and
other valuable cars, but also normal production cars. He had a number of
agencies, one of them was for the Italian specialist Abarth in Belgium, the
first Abarth agent outside Italy, he also had the Iso agency. As a sideline
he started his real passion which was re-designing standard cars into
coupes, station wagons or cabriolets. One of the more known Coune creations
was the Coune MGB Berlinette of which 56 were produced during 1963-1968
before British Leyland presented the MGB GT, but he also built a BMW 700
Estate and a Mercedes 220 Estate. His clients were mainly rich people
looking for individual transport and were quite happy to pay a premium for
that.
One off his dealers was the famous "garage Francorchamps" the belguim Ferrari men and spirit behind the belguim Yellow race cars
