That's the car.

Info from the Web:
This unique Alfa Romeo 2500S features a two-seater sports body, works by Nestor Salerno in Argentina, and was originally fitted to Clemar Bucci’s 1944 Alfa Romeo 12C. In 1989 the Bucci Special was purchased by a UK enthusiast. Issued with FIA papers, it also underwent a mechanical restoration at Arnie Johnson’s Silverstone Workshop in the 1990′s before being repainted. If you look closely at the body shape, you can see many classical mid-’50s body styles from cars such as the Aston Martin DB3S, Ferrari’s Mondial/Testa Rossa/Monza and Disco Volante. The car was purchased by Bangalore businessman Vijay Mallya in 1998 and is currently in  his extensive collection.

It's not a gift - I don't know what it is!  It looks so much like a Maserati 200S from that angle, but obviously it isn't one of those.

Is it Australian?

I see that these days it's fitted with an Alfa 2500cc engine. When Clemar Bucci built it , he fitted the engine from the ex-works Alfa Romeo 12C37 which he had raced in the 1953 Buenos Aires GP. It is incorrectly reported that this was the Argentine GP, which was of course for Formula 2 cars that year - isn't the internet wonderful?

So is this the same car as the one in this thread or not?:

Here's a rear view of that car and it seems remarkably similar; the only difference I can spot is the faired-in head rest which as been added:

I'm 95% sure it's the same car. When it was restored it had the less powerful engine fitted and the headrest added. Having said that, I can only tell you what it says on the internet!
