Greg,
I use the Encyclopedia of Automobiles 1888 to Present (which is 1982 in this
case :-).
I immediately recognized the mystery car as an Innocenti :-), as shown in the
picture on pg 325 of the aforementioned book (for you lawyer types :-) The
maker of the famous Lambretta scooter branched out in 1961 to include the
manufacturer of automobiles under a liscencing agreement with BMC.......like
what Laurie said.
