I have seen some Zagato-bodied Lancias that look real close to that.

It is a MEP ( nicknamed Daphné ) built in France during the 50s by Maurice-Emile Pezous ; it has a tubular home-built frame and a Citroën Traction engine ; seven were built, I think the one pictured is the first, an the engine has been replaced by a DS one.

You're right, I'll move this to solved and award you a point when I'll get to my records and be 100% sure (now I'm just 99,9%).

I have the same pics and I know that source is reliable...I did not read all the 5 pages, but some other sources calls it 170sl..
This comes from René Bellu book:

Hmm..it has been identified as 1953 MEP D7 prototype (MEP D7-1) in its last incarnation. In my source (web) there are 7 chassis described and they're not all the same, although all called D7. Maybe we should ask there?
