    A Siata Spring, apparently. Uses Fiat 850 mechanicals, hence rear engined.

    I didn't realise Siata ever produced something so ugly.

    Put a bubble top on it, and it could almost be 'The Homer'.

    Siata produces some good looking sports cars in the fifties:

    as one example.

    The one posted here is ugly and looks more like a King Midget

    Fix the headlights (Cord style pop-ups?) and the grill/nose (Track T roadster?) and it would look much better.

    ... or a shrunken Jeepster with a sort of MG sedan grill.

    There are very nice looking, very expensive Siatas.

    That is not one of them.
