I keep coming back to this one. It's an Italian hillclimber - Alfa is as close as I can get but some details say "not".

I'm afraid you're wide of the mark.
It's neither an Alfa nor even Italian!

Is it as old as it appears to be - vintage rather than "modern" construction?

It's a genuine old car; not re-bodied or a re-creation.
