Time for a red car; what is it, by whom and from when?

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!

Yes, right so far!
Now for the last part of the question: who did the bodywork?

I don't know a great deal about this car, so points will be awarded according to how much info the puzzler comes up with:

As I said in the initial post, I don't know a great deal about this car.
I don't think it's a replica but whether it was actually built in the 1950's or later on original parts I don't know.
I'm hoping someone out there can tell me!

Nice car ! Looks quite genuine, Italian I assume ? No Alfa, Maser or Ferrari I think, so how about Lancia ?

Lancia D25 Sport Spyder by Pininfarina
Lancia D25 started life in 1954, it was driven to victory in the Mille Miglia by Alberto Ascari. Racer was upgraded to D25 specification by fitting with a 3.7 litre version of the V6 engine. Juan Manuel Fangio and Eugenio Castellotti gave D25 its only outing during the Tourist Trophy at the end of the season. In 1955 the car received a revised nose but it was never raced again.
