For a point: What was it originally and who's responsible for the conversion of the rear?

Peerless?

Rear lights seems to be Alfa Romeo Giulietta's ones...is there a connection?

75america · « **Reply #8 on:** January 08, 2013, 11:26:15 AM »

No Borgward, Jensen, Peerless or Alfa Romeo connection.
And I don't think these are Giulietta rear lights.

Italian?

targhediferro · « **Reply #10 on:** January 08, 2013, 11:50:54 AM »

The lights of rear plate are for sure those of Fiat 1100/103 D-H-(1957-1965), so I think Italy is a good gamble.

Fiat 1400 ?

75america · « **Reply #12 on:** January 08, 2013, 12:35:41 PM »

It's indeed Italian, it is even based on a Fiat 1100 (although I do not know which generation and version).
But there is still information (that I know) about the original car missing.
Also the person responsible for the modification of the rear is still missing.
According to the information I have, the conversion must have been made in the second half of 1956 or the first half of 1957.

Steering wheels is a Nardi. 1100 Nardi?

Fiat 1100 Tv Boano - Giannini?

75america · « **Reply #15 on:** January 09, 2013, 06:32:21 AM »

I have no idea if the steering wheel is from Nardi.
This car has nothing to do with Nardi, Boano or Giannini.

Is it a one-off?

75america · « **Reply #17 on:** January 09, 2013, 11:36:27 AM »

I think that the original car was not a one-off (I think a small series was made, but most probably, none of them was identical.)
The conversion of the rear is a one-off job.

Yes. The 'most probably, none of them was identical' part of my response gave that away

Now for the second part of the puzzle...
Is another coachbuilder?

75america · « **Reply #21 on:** January 09, 2013, 03:40:48 PM »

No, but later on the guy worked (and still works) at least for 2 different coachbuilders.
But as far as my knowledge reaches, these carrozzieri were more 'carbody repair shops' than carrozzeria in its meaning we mostly use here at Autopuzzles

targhediferro · « **Reply #22 on:** January 10, 2013, 01:08:21 AM »

Fantuzzi?

75america · « **Reply #23 on:** January 10, 2013, 11:02:55 AM »

A tad more obscure than Fantuzzi, but one of the guys other creations is already featured on Autopuzzles...

targhediferro · « **Reply #24 on:** January 10, 2013, 12:15:53 PM »

Do you know if it's based on 1100E or 1100/103 TV?
