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.

it's very very similar to Alba Sport...do you know if there is any connection between Alba and Olda?

Also I see that this puzzle needs to be merged with my later one..
