Lancia Delta prototype?
I only found one source, not sure if it is correct.

Carnut

That's correct, yes!
I believe it is right; the original picture is below, which you can see includes the Lancia badge and a Turin registration plate.
What I couldn't ascertain was whether it's by ItalDesign (designer of the production Delta of course) or if it's an in-house design.
Maybe someone knows?

I wonder (but don't know) if Pininfarina might have been responsible for this Delta styling proposal, as the car has a definite 'Lancia family look' resemblance to the berlina versions of the Beta and Gamma, both of which were designed by Pininfarina. The large headlamps also have a distinct PF look. Just a thought...
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

Apparently it was a in-house design by Piero Castagnero for the Y5 project. But Lancia choose to go forward with the Giugiaro proposal instead.

I have an image that has a bit more detail:

Thanks morphly.
I thought that was probably the answer.  Not good looking enough for Pininfarina (or ItalDesign!)

I'm wondering if this isn't a re-post..

We've had other Lancia Delta prototypes but I couldn't find this one.
That doesn't mean it's not a re-post though!
