Probably wrong, but is this a Gatso?

No, it's not a Gatso, but the car is from The Netherlands

I think this is the Eerligh special, built by a man named Eerligh on Fiat 1100 base.

I think this is the Eerligh special, built by a man named Eerligh on Fiat 1100 base.

According to the information I received, this car is indeed equipped with a Fiat 1100 engine, but it is based on a Fiat Topolino:


Eerlich

In June 1951, Eerligh appeared with a home-build car at sport car races.  The racecar was based on the chassis of a Fiat Topolino.  Instead of the 500 cc engine, a Fiat 1100 cc engine was built in.  The beautifully finished carbody had rounded lines and integrated mudguards.  Eerligh did not participate in races for a long time.  Later on, Han van Pelt drove with the car.

And a picture of the car with what I think is the original grille
