This is the RAI 600 a rebodied Spanish SEAT 600.

Very good, thanks.
In fact that's pretty well what I had it as except Fiat 600-based rather than Seat 600.
But I couldn't find anything out about RAI so I thought that must be wrong (since I thought it was a Fiat base hence Italian and RAI is the Italian State broadacsting service I thought that couldn't be right!)
Thanks for sorting that out luisps.
Can you tell me a bit more about RAI?

In reallity is a obscure history about these cars, first of all there is not information about who designed and where it was built, the only certain data is that was a Spanish person. Also is not clear how many were made, but seams that were more than one, some sources says that some unit was based in the SEAT 850. This specific one of the picture has the license plate from Madrid M-501960 that was issued in January 1966, as the SEAT 850 appeared in April 1966, this unit should have a 600 platform, that has been confirmed in recent meetings, anyway it looks that the unknown creator has built almost another unit for his own use based on a 850 platform.
