What is this?
1 point for you!
(I don't know the answer anymore but I suspect it won't take much!)

I took this pic myself in Padova ..last year.
I didn't ask for info because I thought I recognized it.
Once home I did not had the time to look for it and my memory just keep telling me: 'You have it somewhere...'
Unfortunately none of the above would be of any help, and I don't know if it's an Italian etceterini or not  :-\

I also took pics at Padova, but there were no badges on the car and no signs to tell you what it is...

I hope it will be at Padova this year again. I'll try to get more info.
In the meantime, Black Hole!

I guess this didn't make it back to Padova this year?
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

Here's the car...a little bit older.
I finally found out the builder (probably).

I missed your question, sorry.
There is a carrozzeria behind it.
Owner's initials are B.G.
There is another car, built by them from a Fiat 508C, quite impressive.
These info are hard to find (and to verify) but I've received some first hand confidences.

Time to solve it?
I leave good lead in each and every post I write.
Do not want to self promote my FB page, but actually that is the only place where you can find the answer.
It won't be so straightforward, but you have all you need here (and there!).
More clues if needed. ;)

Not Beta. It was built by a small 'carrozzeria', but not officially. It's been proposed and sold as something else and in these cases the builder's name is kept secret. I found it after a long search and many phone calls. The same carrozzeria made another car, this time based on a 508c and it's quite nice. Featured here before, I don't think with the correct name, but I could be wrong and I could have commented there as well reporting the right name.
