I found this pictures in a thread about forest wrecks at a Swedish forum, the pictures is taken somewhere in Sweden. There is no info about the car but I would be interested to know what it might be. DAF555 had an idea that it might be Italian and that it could perhaps be a coachbuilt Fiat 600?

Any ideas?

Humm, it looks indeed Italian, like a "pocket"-Aurelia somehow. The steering-wheel is Fiat-style.

I've asked Martin, the junkyard-expert http://www.icmesa.com/tinhunter/ Maybe he even has seen it by himself.

Huh, it's not easy. Though car and scrapyard are known in the scrap-car-spotter- and junkyard-freak-scene (the world is not that big... ) noone could identify it until now, not even the motor-journalists, "tinhunter" Martin has asked.
But now he has a front pic, not only a bad one of the back.

Martin suggests, that the next photographer notices the production-plates
He asked, if there's a possibility, if it's maybe something selfmade. This happend in Sweden back then sometimes.

@atom: it's not forgotten. "tinhunter" Martin wrote me, that this pic had goated his ambition, so he is continuing to find the answer.

Nice to hear that more people find it interesting! I have sent a PM to the uploader and he said he would take a picture of the chassis plate next time he went back there.

Good news, "Tinhunter" Martin thinks, he got it. Fiat 600 "Rendez Vous", built between 1955 and 1959 by Vignale.

It ws a hard nut, he wrote to me. For that he would like to give an assignment to you, atom A translation. He'll send the email soon.
