Although this picture does feature somewhere on the AP site it hasn't been a puzzle.
So what is it, built by whom, when and with what power unit?

Google Search by Image 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 Search by Image 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 - but I knew you knew it because I believe you posted exactly this picture in another thread about some other car..!

Made by Autotecnica Vico of Ventimiglia with a 1000cc Abarth 750 engine, though actually I had the year as 1964..

Bad luck again woodinsight.
