You're right, it's Topolino-based, so there really isn't much more to get..
It's not fully known who built it but it's thought to be by ******** (don't count the stars!)
So there's just that and the date to fill in.  Do you want to have a go?

It's got a lot of Siata 208 in it so I'm going to say it's by Touring...maybe 1954?

edit...meant to say Moto, not Touring. Too late...I see someone else likely has the correct answer...

Fiat Topolino Barchetta, 1951
Based on similarities to other barchettas the bodywork is assumed to be by Motto.

Sorry Frederick, not Zagato and in fact datsone has now answered the question: it's thought to be by Motto.
Datsone gets his 2nd point! Well done.
