Volkswagen Country Buggy?
It is a Volkswagen-based vehicle and it is a sort of buggy.
I have a different maker and name for it...
Sakbayan?
Judging by the licence plate size: Italian?
Woksvagen aren't my best expertise field, but I try... Perhaps is made by Greppi?
Not Greppi, but for sure someone you know...
Is it from Automirage?
Not Automirage...
This Carrozzeria is also featured in Sannia's books and in the 'italian coachbuilders' article, with some old Fiats...
Viotti?
Not Viotti...one of the minor ones...
Baldi-GAMC?
Not Baldi...
Perhaps Francis Lombardi in his last years? ???
Not Lombardi...
Did Franco Venturi made a new car?
Not the name I have...
So hard to find! >:( And it's Italian and I know it... However, I'm not able to match this one with any other car I know...
Perhaps Rocco Motto while making autocaravans? Or Carrozzeria Caprera?
This Carrozzeria is featured in your books (1 of them), so its not Motto or Caprera, but a minor one.
I'm trying to think to somebody able to manage fiberglass... Perhaps Sibona & Basano?
If not, let me summarize the clues: it's mentioned in one of my books (only one) and has done some conversions on old Fiats (more than one). "Old" should place his Fiat-based work in the first half of my books pattern... Am I on the right way? ???
Not Sibona&Basano.
The first part of the first half of the pattern...(but not the 1st book ;))
I went through the indexes twice, but of course I'm missing something...
We talk about a coachbuilder who was already active in the Fifties or even before, not a famous name and still working... let me say ...in the late 60s or early 70s, like does this VW look.
What about Colli?
I hope my source is not wrong, but it's not Colli.
It's a firm active in the late 30s...
Castagna?
It is one of the less known.
If you search for this name in the whole site, the only result will be in the 'italian coachbuilder' article.
Coriasco?
Not Coriasco...
Obscure, having done Fiats in the late 30s...
Perhaps Carrozzeria Italiana or Chiabra & Bertolino?
Not those....
The last letter of this Carrozzeria is not a vowel....and this narrows down a lot the list.
I won't lock the puzzle after the builder's name: make and model is required.

No wild-guesses please, read the clues and only one name will match.
I'll probably just make things easier for others, but seeing as I can't find anything myself - is it made by Cattelan?

Yes, this car was made by Carrozzeria Cattelan from Udine.
What is its name?
Finding pictures of this car, but not it's name... VERY FRUSTRATING :taz:
The car is named after an animal...
I would call it Gazzella, but it's a wild guess ::)

If it was a Boneschi instead of a Cattelan creation, I would have made the same guess. :D
What, someone was before me? ;D
:applause: :joker: :drink: :cheer: :drink: :joker: :applause:
It is a Gazzella, by Carrozzeria Cattelan!
(how on earth did you chose that animal among thousands of possible choises?)
ImpishGrin found the coachbuilder, 75america found other good pics of it but faksta got the point with a sheer stroke of luck...
another one is gone!
It's small and Africa-ish, I was stuck between Gazzella and Zebra ::) But honestly, I haven't found any proof in the web.
There is not...the only reference to that name that I've found is in a magazine...
Wow, some durable old Puzzles are falling by the wayside!
