This looks a bit like the Fiat Shellette.
Any relation?

I  believe that the puzzle car is not Casella II but is actually Casella I, built by Rino Malzoni and Humberto Casella and based on a VW Karmann-Ghia chassis.  Other pictures of it are below, whilst the Casella II can be seen puzzled here:

https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2017-47/neh-5230/msg452566/#msg452566

The differences are fairly substantial around the rear and side (windows and intakes) but I don't know if the front was altered for Casella II as I haven't been able to find any front views!

I concur with Carnut that the original puzzle car is the Casella I from 1969, as the later II from 1972-73 had a number of differences, such as an updated front (I'll try and find a photo), VW Brasilia rear lights, and so on...
