1100 TV from Geneva 1957
Very good start but that's not quite what this particular car is.
Locked for you to look further into.
Maybe it's a Fiat 1200 and not a 1100?

No, you were right with the 1100 TV bit..
Still locked for you.

You've identified the car's base and designer correctly but not the car itself yet; also the year is not right.

The correct year could be 1958... and the car itself... "coupé 2/4 posti"...
ad of the same car.
That's the body all right.
But what's the car?!

The basis car is, yes, but that's not the full answer!
I've no idea what you are looking for...

Well I'm surprised as you're so very close to giving me the full answer (one word is missing) but OK, now unlocked.
1100/103 TV?? ???

Fiat 1100TV Coupe by Pininfarina 1956 ?
We've already established that's the basis car but not the full answer I'm looking for!
The word 'coupe' wash't mentioned yet.... Anyway, could the missing word be prototipo ?

No, it's not coupé or prototipo; it's actually a proper name (look that up in your dictionary!)
Is the missing name you're looking for another car make ? So for example Fiat-Osca 1100 Pininfarina ?

Yes it is.
Not Osca I assume, how about Siata ?
Moretti ?
Fiat-Abarth 1100 TV by Pininfarina ?

No..

Fiat-Abarth 1100 TV by Pininfarina ?
..as this is the right answer!
Here is the car on display at the Turin Show - I believe in 1959 but maybe a little earlier; it's difficult to ascertain:
I'm surprised that nobody (including me) has found the answer earlier, as Abarth is a fairly obvious name as far as special Fiats are concerned. That's probably the Autopuzzles syndrome : we tend to think at first about obscure and quirky stuff.

Yes, I was really very surprised that Iluvatar didn't get this one straight away once it was established it was a Pininfarina Fiat 1100 TV that was modified as something else. But I think it's hard (impossible?) to find this car on the Internet; the picture was not sourced from the 'Net.
I have only found the non-Abarth pictures on the web, as well as in my Pininfarina book(s). Quite a rare picture indeed !
1100 TV was discontinued in 1957. I think this was based on a regular 1100/103 D.
Abarth would have been my next reply, but oko94 was just ahead of me....
:sigh:
