Apparently, a little searchwork reveals that the chassis is from a 1960 Alfa Romeo Giuletta Sprint.

Bodywork appears to be unknown, as paperwork doesn't seem to exist (reading from where I found the picture, which is a Finnish website.)
 
Its obviously not an Alfa Romeo at the outside, it doesn't feature any kind of triangle on the front, and its not from the '40s or earlier.
 
@FireEmblem10 that finnish article is reason why asking this, car is on auction sale and now checking is that some special or just some home made bodykit+bigger engine installed on giuletta sprint subframe.
 
Hmmm.. It does have some Zgato-ish traits, but that front end doesn't really say Alfa nor Zagato.. Probably some kitcar manufacturer long gone?
 
The only thing even remotely Zagato-esque (er, Zagato-ful? Zagato-ish? Zagato-some?) I get from it is the vent ahead of the front wheel arch, and that can be found on most anything from the era this seems to be from. No sharp lines. No double-bubble. No evidence of trim work having existed on it.
I've got the nagging suspicion it was a stillborn prototype out of eastern Europe or the Soviet Union on an [obviously] Alfa chassis.
 
Bertone may be wishful thinking. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for that to be the case--but there's no documentation, no provenance.
