I believe that's the Zagato-bodied Panther microcar of 1955.

You're doing very well!
One point for you if you tell me the exact name of the car. All things you've already mentioned are correct.
Sorry for nitpicking!

I've seen it described as the Panther 400 B Coupe. It was made by Panther Diesel SpA

Okay don't want to be too strictly.

It's the Panther D 400
'D' for Diesel '400' for it's capacity.
The point is yours!

There is some debate here. One source I have describes the earlier Colli-bodied Panther of 1954 (pictured below) as the 400 D (D being for diesel indeed) but the later Zagato one as the 400 B (B for Benzina) because it had a petrol engine. Not sure what the exact truth here but maybe someone knows it...

You are correct.
Immediately read Roger Gloor's book article about Panther. The Zagato bodied car had a benzine engine the open Colli needed diesel fuel.
Was mistaken for a wrong sub caption in R. Gloor's book. Forgive me!  ;)

Was this car ever manufactured in San Marino?

According to my source:
In August 1954 the "Industria Sammarinese Construzioni Automezzi (I.S.C.A.)" was founded.
It was planned to built a factory on San Marino's territory.
Furthermore the company wanted to manufacture Panther cars under licence in Argentinia, Belgium and France (with Salmson). Apart from the two micro cars also a six seater bus was presented.
Though big advertising in Italian press the whole project was cancelled. Only a few close-to-production vehicles were built.
San Marino's first and only car brand was history.

I beg to differ! I believe there were actually two other San Marinese manufacturers:

1. DECSA, which made the Lisa microcar

2. Epocar, which made the Symbol neoclassic

Photos attached with apologies for the quality / size

I admit I don't know those brands. So, thumbs up!  :)
My post was more or less a short summary of the article I've read about Panther.
It's only related to cars of the 50s.
