From Oguerrerob's source, it would obviously be Tito's Yugoslavia, right?

It's surely a postwar picture.

This is Zvonimir Krenīs Fiat 1100 at the 1955 yugoslavian alpine contest.
Itīs been listed as a 1100ccm Fiat Special then.

To be honest, Faksta did send me a PM, that one of my latest rookie puzzle must be the same car:

But I do know who drove it and what it is...  ;D

2 points, as promised  :) Finally the car is found! Now the question is, was it built in Yugoslavia or Italy? It looks like a couple of etceterini I've seen, but will need to check.

It looks quite battered and I do not think that there were too many motorsport events in YU in that days to race it often and to wear it out too much .

So I think it is a lower quality yugoslavian home-made one-off.
The quality of the body doesnīt look too good, really...

Yep, but at the same time not all of Italian cars were pieces of art :)

Typo in subject.  The car looks somewhat lean, as opposed to the "Fat" described in the subject.   ;D

It was built in the Croatian part of Yugoslavia

watching these interesting and romantic pictures I've got the idea that this 1100 may be a 508 sport derived; rear wheels are Fergat, like Balilla sport; the tail shape looks like Coppa d'oro; the position of passenger's left arm, around driver's back, is exactly the same that 508S'users were forced to assume because of the fact that passenger seat was positioned reader than driver's one. Not strange it's called 1100, because the 508s had introduced the 1089cc engine in MM. I have no proves, just my ideas.

This is quite likely.

The "1100" stand only for the motor displacement capacity in my eyes and it is most likely based on a prewar car.
