To me at first sight, it looked like a repeat of Rochdale, but your car looks somewhat different. I assume it's not Rochdale?

Yes

There are so many Etceterini

Is it earlier in the alphabet than a Nardi?

Siata?

Not a Siata and not by an 'etceterini' brand. This was a coachbuilt one-off on a Fiat 500 chassis.

Did it have a Fiat 500 chassis - or just the engine?

The work was done by a coachbuilder, so I assume the chassis was still intact.
