Carlo;Btw, I ask myself why the car doesn't appear in the 6C2500 book as Mr. Anselmi was aware of this remarkable car.
I fully agree, and one ask, one selves what ells can have been omitted. It does raise the question, is it the Authoritative work, that it is expected to be.

but clearly it is a difficult one you have presented.
Opposite you, I think the badge is the only way to find the official Carrozzeria for this car. On the other hand I think, that we in this case are in a situation where we have 2 diff carrozzeria. One official the badge, and an unofficial, that has produced the car as sub supplier.
We know from other examples, that there was a lot cooperating between the diff companies.
On the top end of the hereto we have here short after the war.
Castagna,Benoschi,the 2 Farinas,Ghia,Touring, Vignale was just entering
on second level there was company's as Allemano, Balbo,Savio etc.
lower we have the Colli,Motta ,Marazzi,etc
We have read a lot of tales about famous cars wearing a label from one of the big, but the car is actually produced in one of the small Carrozzeria. the cooperation between Colli and Touring. The tales that all Siata cars is actually build by Motta regardless of what badge the body whereas.
To me the badge testifies at what Carrozzeria did the design of the car. But where a actually was build was a question of the free production capacity at the company who received the order.
I think this car in question is one of this cases where there is 2 diff. carrozzeria.
If we look at the design of the car, it is so diff. from what else we se from the period Italian designs. I is hard to find any trace, at least I don't have the ability, elements to a specific designee or carrozzeria. The design is simply to odd for Italy at this time.
So for me the first trace is the badge. It would be nice if the Auto Italiana turns up with the answer, but if we relay on it, I think, Carlo, that you have a Mystery that you car carry with you for a long time.
