    Would place high odds on Mini or JAG xr components underneath.

    Knew it wasn’t Volvo, but didn’t even occur to me to check for tags. *sound of hand slapping forehead* Thanks for the info, G.

    Looks like you guys got it. It’s a 1955 Fiat 8V which we snapped a photo of at the Concorso Italiano this summer. The owners were a really nice couple. We may do a feature on this car in the near future.
