It's a 6C 1750.The coachbuilder is obscure,not De Mola and not Belgian.
The year is wrong too.

Yes! Locked for you to find the original configuration and the year of rebody..not 1953.

SV 3710 is the number plate AFAIK

[woodinsight]

I still haven't been able to find more information on the origins of this car on-line but I came across the website of the coachbuilder Aprile. They state that the bodywork dates from 1953 but I think this may be a typo for 1935.
I would imagine that the original car was a fairly unexciting saloon or tourer and can't imagine that a Zagato bodied 6C 1750 would have been rebodied in this way unless it had been badly damaged.
I'm still searching..........

[João]

  It was a Zagato bodied 6C 1750!!

Yes,the date I am asking is near 1935.

[woodinsight]

Wow, why would anyone want to do that?
I guess in the 1930s Zagato-bodied 6C 1750s were considered old-fashioned!
Perhaps this was done in 1938?

[João]

Yes!!!!!! 1938 is the year!

Well deserved point 

[woodinsight]

Thank you - I enjoyed the challenge!

[pguillem]

Yes!!!!!! 1938 is the year!

Why 1938 ?  I found this on the Autocarrozzeria Aprile site.
