The Cemsas built were a few (about 10) test cars by Bertone, because the official production never started.
Among the F11 prototypes there were little differences, like in the front grille, and in the windshield (two or one glass). There where 1100 or 1300 engine too.
I know only one F11 existing today, owned by Caproni family (Cemsa means Caproni ElettroMeccanica di Saronno).

We are both right!
C.EM.SA. born in the 19th century as "Costruzioni Elettromeccaniche di Saronno", the factory passed in 1918 to Nicola Romeo, and in 1935 to the IRI (Istituto di Ricostruzione Industriale).
In 1936 it was bought by Gianni Caproni, who changed the name (in 1941) into "Caproni ElettroMeccanica di Saronno".
