It's a genuine 1960's build.

Prototype Neretti ?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Indeed!
Pictured below is the finished car; it's been puzzled before but the picture has disappeared.
I'm not sure if it should be merged or not since really the subject of this puzzle looks quite a bit different from the subject of the earlier one..

Thanks for the point. I didn't word my post very well - it's not so much the prototype, rather the buck for the prototype which would provide the moulds for the production car.

This is the Neretti I and I think the Neretti II came out in 1971. Oddly enough, the latter car is not nearly so attractive, but has lines which reflect the styling of the time. It's probably the later car which was the subject of the earlier puzzle.

I knew what you meantg!

Neretti II has been puzzled, but it's a completely different car.

This is the puzzle I meant; it's Neretti I but the picture has disappeared:
