Body by Fontana ?
The coachbuilder is unknown (most likely not Fontana, however).

Ferrari 212-based ?
By the way, locked for you. I'm looking for anything that identifies the specific car. The chassis number would be the best (and easiest) way to identify it, but I will also accept name(s) of current/prior owner(s), additional photos of the same car, etc. You get three attempts before the unlock.

The 212 register doesn't mention a chassis with a body made by an unknown coachbuilder. Was the puzzle car fitted with a body by a known coachbuilder at some point in its life ?
