Quick and correct...I post another picture of this car;  Enzo Ferrari bought a Mini in 1964, than he modified its front to add fog lamps.

Is it known which coachbuilder executed the modifications (I'm pretty sure it was not done by (the company) Ferrari)?

I am nearly sure it was made by Pininfarina.

I read somewhere that Enzo Ferrari actually owned two Cooper "S".
If you look carefully at the two pictures it is in fact possible it's two different cars with the same modifications.
The wheels of the car in front of the petrol pump are the standard 3 1/2 inch wide normally fitted to the Cooper S and are probably painted black, whereas the wheels of the puzzle car are the wider 4 1/2 inch optional equipment and are probably silver. The size repeater also appear to be in slightly different positions. It's difficult to tell from a black and white picture but the body colour appears to be different.
Any comments anyone?
