I know where this picture was taken, but not the year.
I have a generic name for it but I'm looking for more.
1 point if you can identify this racer.

Well, the easy part is that it's a Fiat 500 A based car, probably with a Siata modified engine....

Actually I have 2 names for this (like Maker-Maker) and none is Fiat.

Mmm.....wheels are Fiat 500...perhaps a firm that used Fiat parts?

Simca 5? But would be very strange with Milan license plate?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #5 on:** February 19, 2016, 01:22:02 AM »

I thought it was a Siata of some sort but the caption says something different.
The names I have are not Fiat or Simca or any etceterini's.
I am sure of the event.

An event that took place in Italy I guess ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #8 on:** February 19, 2016, 02:24:07 PM »

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #12 on:** February 20, 2016, 02:52:56 AM »

Alfa Romeo - Giannini ?

Wendax · « **Reply #14 on:** February 20, 2016, 03:41:00 AM »

Maserati-Benelli?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #15 on:** February 20, 2016, 06:08:06 AM »

Alfa Romeo-Maserati ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #19 on:** February 20, 2016, 06:51:03 AM »

Yes, Alfa-Maserati is the name I have.
When (I don't know) and where (I do) was this picture taken?
Who built it (I don't know)?
Still much to do for this Pro-point.
No locks, it was pure blind guessing, so far

This picture was taken at the start of an Italian event. I don't know the year it took place, but the event it's not totally and terribly obscure.

I don't know this car... but Alfa-Maserati sounds really strange for such a small car... how can an Alfa or Maserati engine fit in that car??

The shape of the bonnet and the general proportions are that of a sporty Topolino (maybe by Zagato).
But being on AutoPuzzles... nothing is what it seems to be!

Edit: as already stated by targhediferro...
