Interesting.  The same firm was responsable for this Alfa Romeo Arna Martino Minardi.
Has anybody more information about this firm (were there any other (car) projects?, does the firm still exists,...)

Who built this and when? Model designation and year are required for a point!

It looks that there are confuse informations about the Ballcar. I've found other data saying that was made by the company Progene active from 1983 and the car was patented by Giuseppe Lagana, so, if the information of the 1985 Turin Carshow is correct, the car was made between 1983 and 1985.

No, 1985 is not correct. The car was shown at the 1982 Turin Show. Otherwise, a perfect answer

Do you have more details about this crazy car ? What is it based on, what is it made of and above all does it make any sense ?
