Canīt find any internet reference, but Iīm quite sure this is the 1969 Vignale Special Dart  with Miura-style headlamps and a body very similar to the Samantha.

It wasnīt produced as 1970 Ford bought Vignale and Ghia.

(Well, the Special Dart was based on Fiat 850 mechanical components as my sources tell me)

Right you are. My source says it was based on the Fiat 128, but the Dart is the right car.
