Mardal?
I found it as Mardal 750, maybe from 1952...
That's the car but the year is 1951.....
A point for you.

Ahem!

According to Martin Krejki's usually reliable site there was no Mardal in the 1951 Mille Miglia, but in 1952 car no 2341 was a Mardal driven by Marzotto and Carlesso

Thanks for pointing this out Duncan.
It was my mistake for not making things clearer.
The MarDal was constructed in 1951 by Umberto Marzotto & Nicolo Dal Moro and as you correctly point out was raced in the 1952 Mille Miglia driven by Marzotto & Carlesso. Chassis frame was by Gilco, engine was a 750cc Giannini and the body was built by Carrozzeria A. Fontana of Padova who were also responsible for bodying many Italian etceterini.
