Built between 1957 and 1958 by Ermenegildo Preti at Iso, it was later slightly modified (white color, double trim on the side,...)
Good intuition Thorax, but point goes to oko94 for the complete answer.

Well done PJ, that's what I call a proper puzzle, as it's a car I'm sure many of us have heard about, but never seen photographic evidence of.  Nice work  :D
Title: Re: PJ - 689
Post by: Carnut on October 27, 2015, 03:01:15 PM
I Googled and Googled for a small ISO but couldn't find a picture so didn't post it...  Hmmm!
I did find what was referred to as a small Iso Rivolta but it turned out to be a design done for a Japanese company and was nothing to do with the puzzle car..

I'm glad you liked it.
More to come in the future ;)

I entirely owe this point to Thorax : without his Iso intuition I would not have found the answer (even though the wheels of the puzzle car are the same as those of the Iso 400 mini truck).
