    It smells of small-scale Italian 50's manufacturer, Moretti, Ermini, Stanguellini and the likes, but I'll check it out.

    to be exact it's FIAT 1100 Carrozzato per 'Colli',Barchetta(roadster) type body (Carrozzeria means body/work& Coachwork).

    So It's just the same that Matra said.
    "carrozzato per" means "bodied by". Then, since it's a Fiat 1100 bodied by Colli, with barchetta body, then we can say it's Fiat 1100 Colli Barchetta.
    It's not denial. I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

    That's my honest impression,although as an avid automotive historian,I never heard of Italian,or other body(coach) builder by such a name as "Colli",but thenwe all learn everyday something new,for example today I learned that my U.S. american Landlord,could lie legally,and get away with it!.

    A carrozzeria from Milano, established in 1932, closed in 1973. Founded by the Colli brothers, specialised in light sports bodies. Mostly bodied Alfa Romeos, also some Fiats. Best known probably for its Alfa Romeo Giulietta Promiscua (station wagon) and Ministeriale (stretched limousine), also AR 1900 Super Ministeriale and Ambulanza versions. In the late 40s they presented Aeroauto, a car that could be easily transformed into a light plane (it passed the homologation tests and all the necessary stuff). One of their AR 3000 CM cars was transformed into a Disco Volante car for Juan Peron (argentinian president).

    pics (bad quality, but there are very few pics of Colli cars at all): Giulietta Ministeriale, Giulietta Promiscua, Giulia Promiscua, 3000 CM, 1900 Berlina Super Ministeriale, 1900 Ambulanza

    now I recalled,That Carrozzeria Colli of Milan(o),among others converted Alfa Romeo Giulietta Ministriale 1959/60,As well as'Promiscua' which was the Stn.Wgn. conversion named by colli,as a body converter,(rather then body builder,etc.Thanks anyway for the research,My interest lies not only,on a single purpose Motor vehicles,but all the types of transport motor vehicles,as i'm an historian of such,(e.g. Passenger&sport and spl. purpose cars,Vans/minivans,S.U.V.s&'crossovers',Trucks,buses,coaches ,Agricultural,Industrial,constraction&airport Motor vehicles,Rail motor& trailed transport Vehicles inc.Locomotives,LRVs,railcars,trainsets&pass.&comm l. wagons,Magnetic levitation trains Spl. mil. motor Vehicles,inc. Tracked motor vehicles,inc.Tanks&missile launchers,and bridge layers both /all tracked,half tracked,and wheeled,Etc.etc.inc.cranes&excavators,Dumpers&dump truckstractors,&Fork Lift trucks and straddle carriers,Snow Vehicles&Snowmobiles,Motor Cycles,mopeds,motor scooters,Combines self propelled&trailed,motor Scrapers&motor graders,road rollers,engines& Components.from all over the world,of any periods)So it's next to impossible to remember all,or even to know all.But I'm fairly knowledge able.

    I'm trying very hard not to burst out yelling.

    Where do you get this BS from? Stop putting words into Google and then pasting them here to sound cool. We don't like you.
