It looks almost like a Fiat 118 with a different front design, but if you look closely, some other details such as rear wheelarch and tailfin have slightly different proportions too. So maybe a Pininfarina prototype for the 118 Spider?

Could this be a Monterosa proposal for a Fiat 1100 Spyder?

1958 Siata '170S' or '1700' (depending on the source) and indeed based on a Fiat (1400)

Sorry for coming back to an already solved puzzle, but I've a question?
Why do you call it "Siata-Abarth"? I know the 170S as the last Siata model before its first financial crack. The short Siata-Abarth adventure began one year later with an offer of only 4 Fiat 600-based model, as far as i know. No Abarth parts should be in the 170S.

Thanks,

Alessandro.
