For my puzzle n.500, I want to see who is the quickest...so open to all.  Can you tell me what this little van is?

Fiat Topolino wheels: perhaps Siata?

I've not a lot of info about this vehicle; I presume Thorax is right when he says it has Topolino's wheels, and it's possible that other parts came from Fiat, but this vehicle is neither a Fiat, nor a Siata and nor a Moretti.

Was it built by ISO?

It has been built in Italy, but I wouldn't say by an italian car maker.  I just have a name and I know that some of these vans have been realised for the same customer.

As far as I know the maker never built truck, I don't know the base, and it was not intended for mail delivery.

I never heard about that firm before, and I haven't found further notices, so I suppose this is the only one, but I'm not sure.

Lack of doors and windshield wipers is intriguing. Did the customer use this car in a special environment (not open roads) ?
