Not Italian but you are spot-on with the engine size.

I had incorrectly applied the puzzle #925 to two different subjects. This is now #926.

It is a one-off and the builder's name is included in the car's title.

Ha - found it. Just the difference between Czech and Czechoslovakia in the search engine. It is the 1950 HMV 750.
