Welcome Alexander!

Thank you for the information and the link to additional background. I was hoping that patience would bring us the answer. Of course, there is still more to learn!

Now, I guess I will have to grab my files one of these days and scan some images that will show additional detail of the car. In any case, it is very good to remove this car definitively from the list of "Nardi" pretenders as those kinds of claims make it much more difficult to identify the true histories of such cars. It will remain in the files of The Italian Car Registry because of the Italian-origin parts used. Again, it would be very nice to learn the engine number (and gearbox?) as well as additional mechanical specifications.

Maybe I should add some detail to this thread about another "Nardi" pretender? Or, maybe it should be a thread all to itself? It is also likely to be a car with an actual history that is very interesting ... but the "Nardi" claim makes it all but impossible for most people (particularly owners) to see beyond that claim. There is a similar case with a claimed "Stanguellini" moniker on a Fiat 1100S chassis which also would like to be clarified.

Again, welcome Alexander and thank you. Thanks also to those who were willing to "doubt" in the face of reports and statements of questionable value.
