 It is the Swaab Special Ermini by John Swaab made from Jaap Luyendik`s Fiat Ermini 1956-1957, I think the source says it is powered by an engine built by John Swaab as a copy from its original Fiat Ermini engine.

That is the right car, yes.
I need you to be more specific about what powers it for the point though.

Sorry Carnut  I was completing the answer when you post. I think the engine is a one built built by John Swaab as a copy for the Ermini Fiat engine that powered the car originaly.
