Has it a Condor Guidetti engine?
I don't have many details about but I suspect it's not.

Did the manufcturer also build four-Wheel cars ?
Of course.

Electric?
Nope. I believe it has a 'different' engine.

Is there a Moretti connection?
Hmmm, not a direct one.

Not Bianchi.
Touring was the closest so far...  ;)

Was this pedal car named "Superleggera"?

I have only a theory about its name, and it's not Superleggera.
Builder was not Touring and not related to Touring, but this, and Moretti, are good guesses.
It's not at all an obscure name and once You'll find it, your reaction would be: 'Damn, I knew it!!'

I understand what you mean. I did it to prevent that someone just jumps in with the right answer right after Arunas connected the dots. You all probably came to the same conclusion as well and his guess can help others like it happens all the time, but I felt like giving him the chance to say at least 1 name. It will be open after his next guess or after 24hrs from the lock.
Hope it doesn't sound unfair.

Castagna?
...and we have a winner!  :applause: :applause:
All I know about is that is a very light 3-wheeler, probably pedal-powered.
I think it could be an early Trottolina.
I hope someone is going to write a book about Castagna soon  ::)!
Point for you!

I've guessed Castagna thinking to Trottolina...but it was a shot in the dark.   Actually the front looks like some Touring Alfas and Fiat 1500.   Nice puzzle!
