It is a Volkswagen-based vehicle and it is a sort of buggy.
I have a different maker and name for it...

This Carrozzeria is also featured in Sannia's books and in the 'italian coachbuilders' article, with some old Fiats...

So hard to find!  >:( And it's Italian and I know it... However, I'm not able to match this one with any other car I know...
Perhaps Rocco Motto while making autocaravans? Or Carrozzeria Caprera?

This Carrozzeria is featured in your books (1 of them), so its not Motto or Caprera, but a minor one.

I'm trying to think to somebody able to manage fiberglass... Perhaps Sibona & Basano?
If not, let me summarize the clues: it's mentioned in one of my books (only one) and has done some conversions on old Fiats (more than one). "Old" should place his Fiat-based work in the first half of my books pattern... Am I on the right way?  ???

Not Sibona&Basano.
The first part of the first half of the pattern...(but not the 1st book  ;))

I went through the indexes twice, but of course I'm missing something...
We talk about a coachbuilder who was already active in the Fifties or even before, not a famous name and still working... let me say ...in the late 60s or early 70s, like does this VW look.

What about Colli?

I hope my source is not wrong, but it's not Colli.
It's a firm active in the late 30s...
