Here's another one. Make and model, please.
Good luck!
Another portuguese racer - Olda, I think.
Yes, it is!!
Are you sure you're polish? Or are you living in Portugal?
One-word make and model?
:-\ Yeah... A Portuguese road racer, made by Joaquim Correia de Oliveira in 1954. Inicially it used a Fiat 1100 4-banger. This was later replaced by a Borgward 1500, producing 95hp. It was quite successful in Portugal, even winning the Tanger Circuit. Very nice car!
What's this, from when, by whom and powered by what - for 1 point?:

It's an Italian base, yes.
There's a bit more to it than that though...!
Well - then the first obvious guess is; Fiat base?

Indeed!
Is the rest of the car also Italian ?
Shall we stay in Europe ?
So why travel to far in the first place - let's just cross the border to France then ?

No, nothing French about it..
Is it as old as it looks like or is a more recent creation ?

Olda ?
That's right, yes!
This car was powered by 3 different engines at different stages of its life and I need them all for the point (I didn't mention the 3 different engines in the original question because a question like that often gives the game away and makes the puzzle much easier).
So it's locked for you to tell me the 3 different engines (including the original Fiat) and only roughly when.

The Olda (contraction of "Agueda Oliveira"), appeared in 1954. It was constructed from an inverted base of a Fiat 1100 and an engine of the same car was propelled after a change in the displacement threshold rules for a device of Simca, 1290 cc, ultimately increasing their power with an engine of a Borgward Isabella TS, 1493 cc, four-cylinder water - cooled, with 80cv and 165 km / h top speed.
Herunder the very similar-looking Alba from 1952, which also had a Fiat engine, and two years later a 1500 cc engine of its own.
Good answer and that's the car.
We never actually established the fact but this car is from Portugal.
