What's this? Make, coachbuilder and year for a point

[barrett]

Moving up... this should be easy for the experts!

Stanguellini Fiat 1100 Berlinetta

It is indeed, but that's not the complete answer.... locked to you for 24hrs to come up with the year and coachbuilder

Stanguellini Fiat 1100 Berlinetta........1954.....by Bertone
only nine of these where produced, a 1200 Spider version of this car followed a few years later.

Actually I have it as 1953..

I was waiting for Barrett to move this one and even logged on 3 times a day whilst I was away to try to catch it.
But then I missed it in the end anyway;  you've got to be in the right place at the right time with AutoPuzzles!

[barrett]

I have this as '54 too... Amsterdam got in just after the lock, so he gets the point - sorry studhamsmudger!

Carnut - you really do, i've missed out on so many puzzles waiting for the move to the experts..... you have to be quick around here

From "The Automotive Art of Bertone" by Rob de la Rive Box and Richard Crump (note the date mentioned!):

This car was displayed at this year's Pebble Beach concours.
Here's a picture of it with its rear hatch open (along with a period picture of it in the same pose!):

Same car last year at Padova.

[barrett]

Are they two different cars? there are several small detail differences 

[Paul Jaray]

I meant same model....

[barrett]

Ah! I thought when I posted it that it was unique. Do you know how many were built in this style? Just the two?

According to Alessandro Sannia's nuova 1100 fuoriserie:
3 x 1100 TV Berlinetta Speciale like the one already shown (with air intake in the front fender)
6 x the 'stradale' version without the air intake in the front fender
1 x Spider
