Can you name this car? This company is not known for building engines in this configuration, but you already knew that.

I’d say ASA, but then there’d be a big ASA on the valve covers. Beyond me…
I spy a prancing stallion on that firewall tag, and the left valve cover is a giveaway too. It’s a Lampredi engine, but I can’t figure out what chassis it’s in. I’m using the hood contours, hood straps, the mirror stalk, and the inlet on the upper left as references.
Side-draft Webers, black crackle painted rocker covers; smells like a Ferrari to me. I’m too much an amateur at this to go much further.
Ferrari Testa Rossa? 1956, maybe?
Brent you are the closest, as it is a 1956, and Ben kicked off the correct line of thinking with the fact that this is a Ferrari (something I thought was plainly obvious!) but this is NOT a “Red Head” as the head is plainly black and the engine is missing eight cylinders that every Testa Rossa sported!
Keep trying guys!
860 Monza?
Getting warmer.
Hints:
500 Mondial
750 Monza….final answer! (but a 1955?)
1956 Ferrari 410 Sport Spider

Good find Mark.
corvairdad, I am wroth that you would suggest I would stoop to a search of the intertubes to come up with the answer. It’s all in my huge brain! (fakes indignation, throws up hands in false exasperation)
Mark, I have replace all my memory cells with the internet. It’s the only way to go.
