Do we know what race it is in? Visually it looks like the Targa Florio, but that race number seems too high.

Yes we do. I've just realised that it's a hillclimb - apologies if I mislead anyone earlier when I suggested it was built more for circuit racing. It's not the Targa Florio obviously, but hillclimbs often had large entries which would explain the race number.

A little bit later, just a little bit, not lots.

I've come across a reference to a car called the Lucangeli 1000.  Could that be the answer?

Yes it could! It was powered by a modified Fiat 124 engine (presumably sleeved in some way) which produced 105bhp.

It's pictured at the Bologna-Raticosa hillclimb.

You're right. It's mentioned in a thread about Fiat 124/125 derived cars in General Automotive many years ago!

It doesn't seem to have been a previous puzzle.

Am not sure but think it was also featured in a long forgotten group puzzle on racing cars.

That is the problem with group puzzles!
