I can't find this car anywhere at the moment.
The nearest I found was a Fiat-based Ortolani but I doubt if this is the same car.....

fergat wheels, left band drive...not a Lancia Ardea.
Maybe a Nardi Danese on Fiat-Gilco

I'm sorry.

No, it's a Special built by an individual. Not as famous as Nardi or Gilco.

Can I narrow down the year it was built as in the early 1950s?

Happy new year guys!

Yes, it was built in the early-mid 50s. Not a RAOR.
