What is it? # 85 (UPDATE: 1925 Itala )

UPDATE: We had an extremely high response from Scandinavia this time. And that with an Italian car! Not so surprisingly when you read what earlier winner Kjetil Langsaether writes:"The photo was taken in July 1959 by Jan Tolfsby in Skoger in Norway. Jan Tolfsby is one of the pioneer veteran enthusiast in Norway. Has saved 100 + cars, but only kept a few of them. Tor Wollebæk at the left hand side of the car, and the owner at that time
Bjørn Petter Gjerdrum at the steering wheel." Kjetil was also very close -closest- to the right answer which will not suprise you. According to the information of the current owner Bue Bavid-Andersen it is a 1925 Itala 51B ss with 2,8 Ltr. 17/45 HP sidevalve engine. The 4 seater/ 3 door coachwork is by Alessio.
