Obscure enough, but No!

It is the 1949 Mille Miglia and it is Francesco Giardini's barchetta, which I believe is called a Turolla - and is bodied by Morelli.

Well tracked down.
It is the Turolla 750 built by Renato Turolla for the 1949 Mille Miglia.
So the puzzle is locked for you to complete the last question: who bodied it?  It wasn't Morelli but I'll give you a clue:
M*r***i - so a similarish name but just 4 letters different!

I think you are looking at the same book - and the word you seek is Marmini. However I think the puzzle car is the one pictured 'A sinistra'- on the left, and is bodied by fratelli Morelli. The picture 'A fianco' - at the side, is the Marmini bodied one.
If you are not looking at La Sport or you are an Italian expert you may think I am off my head!

Yes, my apologies - you're right.
I was thinking 'a sinistre' meant to the left and 'a fianco' meant at the far side but the puzzle car was in fact bodied by Morelli.
That's another point then!  Well done.
