It's a fairly accurate description of the vehicle but there are a couple of minor plus one major detail missing!
Locked for you to dig into and see if you can provide the complete answer.
The only other information that I can find is that it's Number 926954, and judging by the badge on the back was coachbuilt by a company starting in an F. I'll go ahead and guess Figoni & Falaschi because I'm out of leads. If this is incorrect, please unlock.

OK, I'll unlock it.
There's no Figoni & Falaschi involvement but there is information regarding its full name, its base and its origin still awaited.
OK, it's time for the Pro's to sort this one out; should take less than 5 minutes...
Alfa Romeo Barchetta 2500 6C Derivata Barchetta Corsa Evocation, chassis : Fiat 1100 GILCO, engine : 1949 2500 6C Alfa Romeo
A modern evocation of the Italian specials from the forties and fifties.
Yes, that's the whole point.
Although using an original engine and Gilco chassis this is not an old car but a modern interpretation of the cars of those day!
Well done.
