Sorry, what do you mean with "stable powered"? If you mean, that the chassis-builder is also the engine-creator, my answer will be: No

Am I barking up the wrong tree and misinterpreting the photo?  Is it front wheel drive?

It's an Italian Fiat-engined car. Air intake in the right place. No idea what it is  ;D
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Is it the most obvious one - a Stanguellini?

Is it a one-off or did the maker build a few?

Dear "nicanary",
of course, this sort of question is possible and allowed to ask, and I will feel happy to answer. But with my answer, I will lift up the puzzle to the "Masters", as this is a trivial and not specific question to the puzzle, and I think then everybody should be allowed to ask and solve this puzzle!

When people are reduced to guessing names of a particular genre of car, as we are here,  it is quite common to cut down the range to guess from.  Is it from the A-K range?
