Italo Pezzoli was the man behind ORCA (Officina Riparazioni Costruzione Autoveicoli) situated at via Don Bosco 66 in Torino.
The car was constructed in 1947 on a modified Fiat Topolino chassis and fitted with a Fiat 1100 engine.
The car competed in the 1947 Mille Miglia and was also driven in the Aosta-Gran San Bernardo event by Italo Pezzoli in the same year.
Pezzoli also built several other cars using Fiat and Lancia mechanicals.

Yes, Pezzoli was the name I was looking for, another point for you.

Sorry Paul, Woodinsight was just a bit quicker ;)
Sorry...how could this car has a Lancia Aprilia engine (your answers) ?? if it is a 1100?
The Pezzoli PLF (Pezzoli Lancia Fiat) was a Sport with an Aprilia engine on a Fiat 1100 chassis. This one is a Fiat 1100 chassis and engine, according to Curami's book.

Yes I now see in Curami's book that the PLF had the Aprilia engine and not the Orca, sorry about that. The Orca 1100 had a Fiat 1100 engine on a modified Topolino chassis if I understand the Italian text correctly.
Question time :
is this car street legal or just race car?
what is it stands for in name "Ubb25"?
Ubb 25 is the puzzle name, just like Wendax 1234 or NEH 4321.
