Appears to be a Doble E-model. Approximately 1930?

Sorry pguillem, but D-type was first so I have to lock it for him for 48 hours to come up with the complete answer.
Lucky for him tou have fixed one piece of the puzzle, but I am still missing some in the discription for this car according to my source

I have seen it described as Bisiluro 955/3.  It had a Giannini engine so some tidy-minded people might describe it as a Nardi-Giannini Bisiluro 955/3 which competed at Le Mans in 1955.

I don't speak Italian, but I believe "bisiluro" translates as twin-boom, twin-torpedo or twin-hull in which case it is a description and not a model designation and should not be capitalised.

I think that 955/3 is actually the chassis number

I only know it as it mentioned in my source as a Nardi-Giannini 750 Bisiluro 955/3.
Maby it  stands for 1955 chassis No 3. but I am not sure.

For search purposes, we could probably also include the name Bisiluro Damolnar.  And it might help to say it was created in 1955 by Carlo Mollino and Enrico Nardi.

I have attached another picture, showing the engine.

Le Mans?  Where's the ACO luggage compartment and passenger seat?   ::)

Just poking a bit of fun at the ACO.

Ohh...here are a few other images (I didn't shoot 'em so they might be ok.)
