Bizzarrini made 2 different cars with the Fiat 128 rally engine, the one in 1971 (the one in the puzzle) was shown at the Nardi stand and had a plastic body, the other in 1972 and was a red barchetta, with big fins.

That's correct - this is the Fiat 128-engined Bizzarrini as shown at the 1971 Turin show. It's sometimes called the Bizzarrini 128P and predates the more well-known barchetta.
Here's the full picture I have:

From what I gather the Bizzarrini 128P was the name given to the later barchetta-bodied car, which was fully known as the 128P Targa Florio.  This Bizzarrini seems to be called the 1300 Sport.
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

This car appears in Winston Goodfellow's Bizzarrini book on p121, and there it's captioned as the 128P.
Interestingly, it's mid-engined.
