What is this?
1 point for you.

Builder's name is required

(I thought it was a repost but couldn't find it)

I highly doubt it.

It's like a cross between a Siata Spring and a Messerschmitt TG500!

Is it motor-cycle engined ?

BMW-engine?

I'm sure you already saw it. I was sure it was a repost and it's a ..face you can't forget.
Not motor-cycle engined.

No BMW parts, there.

Could be the builder's name found online?

It will be soon.

I've found what I think might be the same car; a one-off Barchetta built in Italy around 1953-54 and based on a DKW 3=6 1000. I'm struggling with the builder's name though. Could it possibly be Carlotto?

PJ was right, it is a repost:

No builder's name mentioned there though...

Now the answer to your question is "yes"!

Wow...not Carlotto but your guess can't be a coincidence.
The car was at Padova and the people there were not aware of its builder before I met them

I spoke with its builder and collect few info. He built 2 cars and your name is closely related the the other car he built.
Locked for you.

Happy for it to be unlocked as I can't find any additional information about this one. Thanks.

It may have been more of a coincidence than you think. The puzzle image was part of a set of photos which appeared in several 2013 'for sale' listings by then-owner Mauro Carlotto. In at least one of these listings, Carlotto stated that he did not know who had built the vehicle. Therefore, it seems unlikely that the builder's other creation would somehow be related to Mr. Carlotto. Any similarity in the name must have been coincidental.

Mauro Carlotto was offering this car long ago and I read that he was not aware of its builder...but Roberto Carlotto (probably his brother) had a similar car built for him by the same Carrozzeria (featured here too)! I do not know if he really was not aware or if he was just leaving a bit of a mistery. Its builder has nothing against his name to be known and both cars were made by him.

The Roberto Carlotto car sold at auction a few years ago and that auction description can be found in multiple places online. Unfortunately, the auction house dedicated more catalog space to describing Roberto Carlotto than to describing the actual car being offered. The description mentions that the car was designed by Roberto Carlotto, but then simply states that Carlotto "commissioned an Italian coachbuilder to fit a bespoke Barchetta body."

Still searching...

Not Orlandi. Longer name.
O______I. There is a 'R' and an 'L' but not an 'N' or a 'D'.

Carnut · « **Reply #23 on:** July 26, 2020, 06:31:42 AM »

Thanks!
Not Ortolani then, which was going to be my next guess!
Or Ollearo because that doesn't end in 'I'.
I'll have to dig into this further..

targhediferro · « **Reply #24 on:** July 26, 2020, 05:10:16 PM »

Is the last letter an "L" or an "i" ?
