It certainly does look 'Jolly' but I'm looking for the name of the coachbuilder that made this car...

Wild guess: Carrozzeria Baldy from San Remo?

Not a Baldy (although I'll admit it does lack a certain amount of covering on top)

Is it at least from any carrozzeria? (even if it 's made by one of the rather unknown?)

Yes it's from a known carrozzeria, but not that well known

I think it could be the work of Masiri & Mondini.

Yes indeed, well done. Anyone know of any other cars made by this obscure carrozzeria?

I've just been told that the correct name for this, is Mastri & Mondini.

I received some suggestions for my 'Italian Coachbuilders' topic by our new friend Als15, one of which was to correct the spelling of this Coachbuilder, that was mispelled in his book and reported wrong thereafter.

I think that misspelling originally comes from the Daily Express Car Guide, circa 1972
