Solved - NEH 1653: Cisitalia-MG 1954 raced in Venezuela 1950s

Any ideas what this might be?
There seems to be a bit of dispute but if you can tell me what most seem to think it is then there's a point for you!

You're on the right track there all right - it is a Cisitalia maybe!
So now all you need to do it fill in the details of what it might be!

Please unlock it - all I know is it looks like a Cisitalia to me, but I'm not familiar enough with the marque to add anything more

I can say it's a Cisitalia-Fiat 1100... but almost every Cisitalia can be described with this name...  :-\

Almost every Cisitalia is Fiat-based - but not this one!

A Venezuelan Cisitalia-MG special. Raced in the early fifties in Venezuela with an MG engine is all I have.

Yes, that's the car!
There's lots about it on the web but no-one seems to be really sure that this is that actual car.
One was raced in Venezuela in the fifties as you say, and there are pictures of it, and this might be it - or it might be a later copy purporting to be it!
Either way that's the right answer!
