By an Italian coachbuilder?
Perhaps an old 1100 rebodied?
Yes ,Fiat 1100 base with Italian coachbuilder !
Could it be by Farina?
Not Farina !
But locked for you !
Ok, frankly speaking I don't know it. So the only thing I can guess is Pininfarina.
Not Pininfarina !
It's a Fiat 1100S !
Unlocked ?
Another guess: Castagna?
Not Castagna !
??? The list is still long...
A major one or a very obscure brand?
Mi next guess would be Colli.
Not Colli but a major one !
Bertone?
Ghia?
Not Bertone and not Ghia !
We have burned almost all the major ones... Still missing Touring and a few others.
Not Touring !
This coachbuilder made few of spider after the war !
Zagato?
Yes , it's Zagato ! :)
But the badge of the car is not Fiat !
Locked for you !
Ok, so a Cisitalia?
Not Cisitalia !
Not Cisitalia and not Nardi. I'm pretty sure also neither Abarth nor Stanguellini.
Ermini?
:shakehead:
It's becoming hard... When you say "badge" you mean phisically the badge on the nose or just the name?
Because another guess could be Gilco, but this is not an actual brand carrying a badge.
Yes !
Fiat gilco 1100s 1951 zagato !
The car always exists :
1 point for you !
Happy to have find the solution (even if very late: I know very well that cat but, I didn't connected the rear with the front view >:().
Only a small detail: Gilco is not a car brand. It's just the maker of the tubular frame chassis. Gilco never made one single car; but according to the period FIA regulations, cars entered races with the name of the chassis-maker. This is the only reason why sometimes some cars are called "Gilco", but under an historical point of view this is not correct. ;)
Yes ,no Gilco badge ! :)
I had it lined up for a future puzzle!:

Are you sure that it's the same car? At least the vents in the hood are missing..

It is a Gilco 1100S Zagato but not necessarily the same car (the wheels are different of course!); maybe they made more than one?
My picture is described as the "prototype" on the Zagato Cars 'site, but that in itself doesn't meant there was more than 1.
I think I've seen a picture from a different angle and the vents are actually there.
I think that the wheelbase is different :
Yes - and the front grille could be slightely less square as well.
So - they built more than one!
No puzzle photo...
This car was for sale at this year´s Techno Classica for a whopping 185.000€...
