This one should keep you busy...
What is this?

Fiat 500 B (topolino), based. Is it a one-off?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #2 on:** June 10, 2013, 04:14:26 PM »

So far so good.
I don't know how many were built, but I suspect it's a one-off.

Did it take part in the Targa Florio?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #4 on:** June 10, 2013, 05:13:22 PM »

I don't know...I've just a name $:-\$ .

As you well know, plenty of home-made barchettas were built on Fiat 500 base soon after the end of WWII, and they are often very similar each other.
I found a picture of a car that has quite a similitude with quiz car, is it from the same builder? It's a Fiat 750 (500 base), Pini, from 1947. I guessed that quiz car was a 500 B (so from 1948) because of the light colour of the wheels, but it could be a 500 A as well.

Not the name I have...and you are right, I know it's Topolino-based, nothing more (like the version or the year)

targhediferro · « **Reply #7 on:** June 12, 2013, 12:49:41 AM »

Perhaps De Luca?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #8 on:** June 12, 2013, 08:02:25 AM »

Not De Luca.

Beccaria?

faksta · « **Reply #10 on:** June 13, 2013, 02:11:34 AM »

Could it be Macchi of Varese? The car I've seen by them looks different, but the shape of the grille and the badge look similar.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #11 on:** June 13, 2013, 03:55:40 PM »

Not Beccaria or Macchi.

I saw about 100 different barchettas without finding this one. Is it perhaps from Sicily? If yes by Minoia?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #13 on:** June 18, 2013, 02:47:42 PM »

Not by Minoia.
I don't think it's from Sicily.
Hope this helps:

Fondi?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #15 on:** June 21, 2013, 12:48:14 PM »

Not Fondi.

Carnut · « **Reply #16 on:** July 04, 2013, 06:32:13 PM »

Is it a well-known constructor, like Giannini?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #17 on:** July 05, 2013, 03:24:32 AM »

I must confess I've never heard of him.
It is not mentioned in 'La sport e i sui artigiani' or in any books I saw so far.
This picture comes from his son and the caption says more or less "my father Alberto ____'s topolino"
His name was Alberto.
Hope it helps.

I tried myself to google those words in Italiano and I thought the car wasn't there!
Well done again Pal, a point for you!

Hiawatha · « **Reply #20 on:** July 05, 2013, 04:32:08 AM »

Well done indeed, Pal ..
There is one thing I can't understand,however. AN 4515 licence plate was issued in early 1934,well before the first 500A appeared in 1936. Any thoughts?

targhediferro · « **Reply #21 on:** July 05, 2013, 06:21:19 AM »

I suppose it could be AN 14515....in my archive I have another 500 barchetta, with plate AN 14514, but I cannot remember where I saw it.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #22 on:** July 05, 2013, 04:59:45 PM »

I hope you'll find it back.
In the meantime, point added and topic moved!
