An easy one...but I'm going to ask a further question once the car is identified.

ASA Guardian, built by Advaced Security Agency from Milan, armoured car based on the military version of the Fiat Campagnola. The picture dates from around 1982.

OK..and that was the easy bit.
ASA never revealed how did they get the design of this vehicle.
It's not hard but quite interesting.

Are you looking for a designer's name or for an explanation?

There is an interesting (and I hope quite unknown) story behind this vehicle.
I can't tell you much or it will be too easy but with some guesses in the right direction it should be done.
I won't lock it...the hard part cames now!

It was featured in a group puzzle before and I think it was also Wendax who solved it...

So I guess it was not an inhouse design.

It is the ASA Guardian, but I'm looking for something else...

Has it been designed by some famous designer/design studio?

Could it be a Giugiaro design?

Did they use an already existing design made for another manufacturer?

Zagato (who made armoured cars and is also from Milan) comes to mind.
