With a LHD [Innocenti?] Mini and a Fiat 500 in the background is this car Italian?

Its the 'Anti-Cobra" designed and built in 1964 by American Tom Meade in his shop in Maranello Italy for a Swiss Baron, so technically it was Italian, but it was powered by a Corvette V8 engine.

Yes, that is the machine. Point for WayneB. ;) An interesting feature of the car, is the targa top & windows. They can be removed while the doors remain in place.

Also known as Thomassima I, isn't it?

This car was built simultaneously as the Thomassina 1. Both had their build start dates in 1962. I believe the Thomassina 1 is Ferrari engined & has some body vents up front. While the Anti Cobra is V-8 powered. their is a grainy old youtube video about the Thomassina 1.
