Could it be the Fiat 126-based Indestor Croisette?

Indeed  :)
Could you clear up some confusion over the name? I have seen this listed as both Indestor and Indesten

Italian magazine Quattroruote reports it as "Indestor", based in Turin. However it's a quite obscure brand and I never found any further info about that. I only have in my archive 2 press-photos but unfortunately they haven't any stamp or note on the back. Also the little badge on the front wing is unreadable.

I think it is Indestor, a company based in Turin

"The miniature ‘torpedo’ (open fun car), launched at the 1974 Geneva Motor Show, was baptised the Croisette and used Fiat 126 mechanicals, including its rear-mounted 594cc engine"

INDESTOR stands for INdustrial DESign TORino. Ex OSI director Giacomo Bianco worked with this company from app. 1969 to 1974
