Let´s call it a tri-national and intercontinental project.

And yes - the USA were involved.

LOCKED for you!

Nardi is correct.

VW components is correct.

Now I need an American name and this will be your point!

Hubert L. Brundage, Porsche dealer from Florida had the idea of a Formula Junior racecar on VW Beetle base. In 1958 he sent a brandnew Beetle to Nardi in Torino in order to build such a racecar. The "Nardi" became the first Formula Vee predecessor.

It looks similar, but it's not Lancia related.

Looks quite like stock pre 66 VW transverse torsion bar / trailing arm suspension ,

Porsche connection ?

No direct Porsche connection, but you are getting closer...

I said you were getting closer.. ;)  Well done, as this is indeed the Nardi-Brundage Formula Junior, a VW-powered precursor to the Formula V movement.  Another point to you.
