Beutler perhaps? It's not unlike their Jowett.
The more I consider the nature of speed, the more mysterious I find it.

I've no idea.  As a guess:
Simca 8 from 1949 bodied by Facel Metallon

As I haven't a clue and am too busy to search, please unlock.

Actually I suppose that the design of Simca 8 Sport was from Stabilimenti Farina, but it was Facel Metaillon who built them.  Simca production, until 1950, was strictly connected with Fiat; Theodore Pigozzi, Simca patron, had good relationship with Giovanni Michelotti and Stabilimenti Farina so the project of a new Sport Simca started in Turin but it would have been very expensive to import bodies from Italy.  The design of Simca 8 is very very similar to other Stabilimenti Farinas from 1947 (Cisitalia cabriolet and Ferrari 166).  Then I  never heard about Abarth taking part in the project; I've some notice about Gordini improvement of the engine, but not Abarth.

I got my informations from a internet-forum, specialised in coachbuilders.
