This should be a 1939 fiat 1500 6c. The builder is not known, even many says Motto. Many things about this car are foggy, so please, if anyone states something about it, tell what is the source as well...

Yes !

It was rebodied in 1940 for baroness Maria Antoinette d'Avanzo. The engine was fitted with a compressor and prepared by Stanguellini.

1point for you !

I believe this is chassis no: 012940 delivered in February 1937 as a Spider Corsa to Ovidio Capelli.
Rebodied 1946 for M.A.B. by an unknown coacbuilder.

There's no proof that the car was owned by D'avanzo, nor that it was tuned by Stanguellini. And that compressor is a post-war Italmeccanica as well as the dash instruments.
