For one point, provide the year, make, and model of this car.

It looks the Pegaso Bisiluro from 1953

A point for you Luisps. 

My information included Z-102, but that probably applies to any Pegaso from 1953.

I don't have this information, but do you have any idea why the Bisiluro in this picture, includes a second windscreen?  (passenger[?] side)

..actually there were also 12+1 Z103 and a couple of Z104.

In a book of 2001 written by a crew of specialist to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Pegaso Z-102 is the following detail:
Only 84 chassis Z-102  were built, the bodies were made by different suppliers, 42 by Touring, 20 by the own company (Enasa), 18 by Soutchik and the last 4 by Serra. Z-104 was a new motor development, never a full car, 4 motors with different capacities were built and one of them was applied to a Z-102 chassis with Serra body, at that car was given the type Z-103, but the project was interrupt before the full development of that car. It's supposed that around 65 of the Pegasos Z-102 still exist, half of them in running condition.

About the windshield for he copilot, just that picture shows it, also the rest of pictures of the definitive Bisiluro used to break records show some other differences, maybe that picture was of the prototype not fully developed.

To my knowledge two different Bisiluro's were built. The Bisiluro was ment to run at Le Mans (but did not enter race). Because of this it featured the obligatory room for a passenger. When racing without passenger, the passenger compartment could be closed and the 'windscreen' could be folded down.
