I think it was bodied by Martin.

And we have a winner!! 

This car is featured in Simon Moore's bible about 8C.
The body was made by Martin of Berne in 1955 circa.
That was not easy, 2 points for you!

"...Signor Brioschi retained the car for some five years, then sold it to Vittorio Roncoroni who then sold it to Jean Studer in Switzerland, who raced it and believed it to be 412006. It acquired larger superchargers, and then was sold on to Hardy Fortmann in 1947 who also raced it before moving it on to Alfred Senften, who had Martin of Berne re-body it once again with a lighter, lower spider body, circular grill and cycle wings which turned with the steering. It went to Hans Matti in 1971, then to France and the UK and into the ownership of Matt Grist and his father Paul who have restored it with a Botticella body as it was when raced in period..."
