    I can't get it. Not that I'm good at this lol, I was thinking ex-Vorhees Siata-Fiat 1400, but it's just not the same shape, and those wheels are really throwing me off. Can't think of any OSCA either, or special bodied Etceterini. Tapped out :)

    Marzotto Fiat?
    Based on zero research, just wfg. Lumpy like Marzotto.
    I initially thought Simca something but same country r/o
    Raviola Barchetta on market, misshapen, but not this lumpy.
    Is there another forum? LOL
    PS, I've seen it somewhere. Lost in swirls of chemo. :(

    Had to follow all the hints and close calls, came up with this, however in Wayne's photo, you can't see the tapered rear body.
    Fiat 500 Sport Zanussi

    I thought this was a one off chop the top off by an unknown artisan, but I guess with the shorter hood and the cowl louvers it would've required the coachbuilders involvement.
    I am ill prepared to post anything exotic so I've cropped an easy one which Wayne will recognize in a nano-second, but may take the rest of you 20 seconds or so...

    Here's a sister car.
    Toggie, thanks for the motor tip.
    I didn't know these used Cortina TL.

    PS. Honest to gawd. I knew what it was. Could not remember name. AT.ALL.
    I had to do goofy search for the successor car. I. hate. chemo. brain.
    Cool car without all the Texan added carp.

    PS Hi Is. Missed ya.

    I like it, except for the Chevy engine transplant! In fact, in 1964 (at the ripe old age of 12) I built a replica of it, of which I am still the caretaker. 1/24th scale.

    Cool build. What'd you use as body? Monogram had 1/32, but no 1/24 plastic. Always surprised me nobody did 1/24 kit. Spoken as someone with well north of 1200 1/24-1/25 kits in various states on the property. Oops.

    OK, looked at chassis. Slotcar. Vac-form?

    Hey there Sfu! Hope you're felling better and nice to have you back. HO scale too, the brood at home raced it against a Batmobile religiously. ;)
