While not technically a repost, this image (slightly larger) is found in PJ's outstanding series of posts on Italian coachbuilders (based on Allesandro's books):
http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=7241.100

In that post, it's described as a 1966 Fiat 1200R Cabriolet by OSI.

I also found a slightly larger version of the image on one web site where it's listed as a 1966 Fiat 1100R Spider.

Could there be a typo somewhere?

There is a German website dedicated to OSI cars.  On it this car is pictured (below) and is described as an OSI 1100R Spider, based on the Fiat 1100R and first shown at the Geneva Show in March 1966.

A 1200R never existed, so this should be a 1100R, maybe the confusion is because OSI built similar cars (with round headlights) on the 1100D chassis (with a 1200 engine).

This seems like the best explanation to me.  Thanks.
