1 point for woodinsight ! :)
According to a website where this car was discussed, it was built in 1954 to a design by Michelotti, powered originally by Aurelia B20 3016 and later re-engined with a B20 3105 uprated to 130hp.
Sig Brandoli was a busy man - he built other cars too, but I'm keeping them for myself!
The puzzle photo was taken at a Cesana Sestriere hillclimb retrospective.
