Some answers:

Sorry als15, it's not a Dagrada and no Lancia connection.
mtbo is right, it's an Ermini - which answers D-Type's and Amsterdam's questions too!
I'll give mtbo 24 hours to find full details failing which it will be open to all again.

So it is an original.

Then it must be an Ermini Siluro 1100 sport , Fiat based, body was built by Motto and modified by Mariani
1950/51

I found an old picture of one of these

That's plenty of info there Amsterdam and really enough to earn a point!
But what chassis it sits on still hasn't been answered as per the original puzzle post!
Can you answer that before I move it?
