Must say I would have said the same thing: Bizzarrini 1900 GT Europa!
Will have to look for something else that used the same body...!

The 1.9 engine in the Bizzarrini GT Europa was actually an Opel engine wasn't it?

If I'm correct, not all of the cars were equipped with an Opel engine. 
Wasn't the car first intended to be an Opel?...therefore my guess...

This is a little-know Bizzarrini variant. Not powered by an Opel or Alfa engine, nor is this one of the early Fiat 1500-powered examples

The body seems definetly the 1500/1900 one, according to the line of the side-windows continuing on the roof.
This car was equipped with Fiat and Opel engines. Your reply about Fiat engine seems vague, is there a Fiat engine?

I remind a Bizzarrini with a Fiat 128 Rally engine...I'll look for more.
EDIT - nothing to do with that, but, probably, I found a full pic of this car with no details...

Nope, this is how it looks in an old encyclopedia.
I also noticed the differences...probably it was printed like that.

Hmmm, a lot to reply to here.
Not BMW-engined.
Not a 5300 GT.

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.
