mekubb seems to be absolutely right with his description, but isn't the car's name "Bianca" and the production year 1946? See attached picture

The chassis is a Fiat 1100 from 1940 ; the engine and the gearbox from a Lancia Aprilia 1939 !
The front of the restored car seems slightly different , with a Lancia badge !
The coach builder is Mario Faina from Roma !
1 point for mekubb ! :)

I do not want to appear as somebody, who challenges every solution, but since car puzzles encompasses such an informed society of car enthusiasts with incredible knowledge, I believe that the exact identity of this car and its name should be exactly captured:
I know about three versions now:
1) I haven't found the car in the MM-registry, but mostly it has been named in the 2020 entry list: Lancia Aprilia Barchetta Faina 1939, driven by Mario and Angelo Caniggia.
The grille badge on the front identifies the car as a Lancia...
2) If you check the historic picture (which I have attached during running the puzzle) with the name "Bianca" and 1946 on the paper sticker, and compare it with the contemporary photos of the car, they look like the same... Were more than one made by Mario Faina?
3) Barchetta Fiat/Lancia Aprilia by Faina, as the solution in 'autopuzzles', which only identifies the car's components....

Does anyone know more about the car's history and name?
