Thank you very much for the point!
The pictures you added, show the third and last version of the 'Ficai'. Not using the V2 engine of the puzzle car, but an custom built boxer engine, again with Norton cylinders and heads, based on a carter made by Riva Calzoni, Bologna.

I added another picture of the 'Ficai' (Coppa della Consuma 1956) with the typical air intake to feed the high mounted carb
