Crepaldi?

And Yes!
Now what? Half a point each?!

Very gentlemanly.
But I'll tell you what, since neither of you have given the date as asked for yet I'll lock it for woodinsight to give me the date and if he gets it he can have his point!
Fair?!
I guess it comes down to the same thing... ;D

Sure it will be at least he'll have to work for it!
Gastone Crepaldi was active in Milano 1951-1956.
The Panhard in question competed in the Mille Miglia of 1956 driven by Zerbini.
The bodywork was of a new design and the car was completed in 1953.

Good answer and worth 1 point!
Here's another picture:
I'm trying to get the Crepaldi-Bianco-Italfrance-Autocorse-Gilco-Colli-Allemano-Panhard connection right.
So far I understood:
1- Crepaldi was not a Carrozzeria but an importer of French cars (and later a Ferrari dealer) and founder of the Scuderia Italfrance, were Panhard-based cars were used to race. Those Panhards were built by Aldo 'Tino' Bianchi and bodied by Allemano. In 1952 Crepaldi left Italfrance. Colli bodied some Panhard later and Bianchi was always the builder. He later opened a workshop called Autocorse and Colli bodied a Panhard for it too.
It seems that this one is not one of those cars!
In 1954 Adriano Zerbini drove a Panhard Barchetta built in Bologna by Carrozzeria Fratelli Rimondi at the Mille Miglia, Raticosa, Firenze-Siena, Bologna-San Luca and in a race in Bologna (Campionato dell'AC Bologna). The car had a small circular grille on the front and license #BO65701.
That car (same license number) was drove by Zerbini at the 1956 Mille Miglia in the configuration shown above, the puzzle car.
