Hey, I'm working on it!! I already replied to Dan. For the record, based on the chassis design, I think it is a Nardi that came to America with a 750 Giaur/Giannini Fiat Topolino motor enlarged to 750cc (from 569cc) and a 3rd main bearing added to the bottom end and a conversion from side valve to Giannini OHV. The car later had a Crosley in it. I'm looking for photos of the car in Italy, circa 1947-1950, but don't have all that many Italian magazines of the period. There is nothing on this car in the Taraschi book (Taraschi was the man who built the Giaurs and Uranias), nor is there anything in the Giannini book! I'll pst something when I get further information. I have put Dan in contact with Tazio Taraschi, the grandson of the man who built the Giaurs..
