Besides the Fiat 1500 engine, does the car include components from other cars ?

No, you have to find the solution by looking at the car's characteristics.

I don't know, if it was called autocross back then. I'd say dirt track.

Was he involved with French "stock car" racing (that is to say destruction derby on dirt tracks) ?

Marius Dal Bo built a Lancia-engined dirttrack racer - did he also build this?
