There was a very similar Ital with LPG samve colour but poor bodywork either on E Bay or Car ana Classic back in late spring early summer susect it to be the same car There was a bit of a LPG revelution in late seventies seen a few 1.3 marinas fitted when they were new had to swap ` fuels by turning petol tap off under bonnet with the engine running leave it idling ans as it started to run out of petrol switch the gas tap on close the bonnet and away to go

Yes it's the same car. One of the top 10 oldest surviving Itals- one of the first ten thousand built.

Looks like this may have been saved by a serial car restorer and might be heading up to Yorkshire (No not me)
