Stephen is correct, it is Zagato bodywork (note the "double bubble" roof) and so is Fin, it's a Fiat Otto Vu.

Yeah, that's Ghia all right, though it sort of reminds me of Bertone's Alfa Romeo Disco Volante, or Flying Saucer.
 
 
 
There's also more than a passing resemblance to another set of Bertone Alfa concept cars, the B.A.T. show cars:

I'd say Triumph Spitfire Mk III, ca. 1970.
 
EDIT: interesting exhaust and minilite wheels. Might this be a Spitfire 6?
