This is a Fiat 1100 Spider Touring built for the Soc. Montecatini.
Well done.

In my book "Europäische Kleinwagen" there's a complete different story on this car:

In January  1954 the „Laboratorio Studi Resine“ in Castellanza presented Italys first
car with an all-polyester body. It was a doorless roadster with a frame-less wind screen.
It's unknown (for the author) on which mechanics this car was based on and remained a one-off

Some clarification needed!

I took this picture from an article about Touring cars. There was written that this car was built by Touring for the Montecatini, and the Montecatini was developing the 'polipropilene isotattico' and the Moplen a new kind of plastic.
...but this is indeed the LSR:
LSR (I) 1954
Laboratorio Studi Resine Castellanza.
First seen in January 1954, the L.S.R. was the first-ever italian fibreglass-bodied car. It had a doorless sports 2-seater body with a Plexiglass half-windscreen

The magazine where I took this pic was half right, it is (I presume) a car made by Touring for the Montecatini, but it was intended as a showcar for this new fibreglass material and was presented not as a Montecatini group product, but as a LSR.

I found the connection between LSR and Montecatini group:

<<< link removed >>>

In Castellanza, in the North of Italy, there were different factories, one of these, the Ignazio Siles' one, will change name many times, till it will became Montecatini in 1928.

Great find!
1 point for you.

A couple more pictures.
Understood that whilst it sat on a Fiat 1100 chassis it may have had a Ferrari engine..
