Hmm, rear engine.
I couldn't find anything at Fiat or Abarth.
French?

In the Zagato archive a Renault 5CV Zagato from 1956 is mentioned, probably the Renault 4CV will be the base.
 
Is this the right answer?

A beautiful design, by the way.

That's right, yes.
There was a separate Zagato-bodied Renault Dauphine, which would be a 5CV I believe, but that was a different car.
I believe this is a 4CV base.
Well done.

It is a Zagato-bodied Galtier Renault. A front view can be seen here: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2011-39/solved-mjw-120-sports-racing-part-1/msg129723/#msg129723

OK, thanks.
It never mentioned Galtier on Coachbuild.com...

Although it's based on a Renault 4CV, for reasons probably known only to Zagato, they insisted on calling it the 5CV (as below from its official history), the Dauphine-based Zagato being something completely different.
