Solved - NEH 1600: Fiat 1100 Sport - 1948

Recognise what this is?  1 point if you're right and can tell me from when it dates:

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

Good guess.
But it's not a Stanguellini, despite the fact that it has a Stanguellini badge on the nose, which of course you can't see.
Displacement is correct but the year is not.

Yes - that's all it's described as.
Many of these cars were built by small unknown workshops so they were never attributed to any particular coachbuilder, just enetered in races as Fiats, and this is one of them.
It actually wears a Stanguellini badge but I understand it's definitely not a Stanguellini; perhaps its owner doesn't just want a mere Fiat!

Even as a "mere" FIAT it's a great find...
