Colli Fiat Topolino?

No!
I found the same car as: "Fiat 500A Topolino Corsa Barchetta body by Colli"... the original chassis is from 1936, the body from the 50s...

Thanks!
I've had a look at that site and it seems pretty unequivocal about what it is!
But if you enter the original picture I used into Google Search by Image, as I often do to find a bit more info,  it takes you to a completely different (German) site which calls it something else!
I'll take your word for it though and call it solved.

Ok, I see the car called a Siata 208, but it surely isn't that... it's too small and Siata bodies where generally less rough...

I couldn't remember this car and, sincerely I was completely wrong way going, perhaps because I'm quite sure that this barchetta has been restored with lot of fantasy so that it looks a Colli '40s product just for a little.
Anyway, from the plate I found a note in my archive were I registered this car as a Fiat 500A elab. Siata; I can't remember the source of this note.
I'm pretty sure this car is not a proper Siata, perhaps it has a Siata head.
