Okay thanks.
Probably 1927/1928 around the time of the takeover by Imperia?

A well deserved point!

Thanks Joao.
I chose the earlier date as my source told me that the coachbuilder ceased in 1925.
Perhaps this was one of the last bodies produced by them.......

Very interesting.

I think it will soon be time to sort out these Pre-WWII coachbuilders as there is a lot of misleading information out there!
