Ok - now I can see it... Not that it helps... Nice car, and I assume it's Italian, but other than that ????

Is it an ATS 2500?

Nope sorry, it's not an ATS nor is it Italian but it does have a model name that sounds Italian, _________ Malzoni (fill in blank).
 
Hint: It was sold at about the same time as the ATS 2500 and in similarly low numbers but otherwise bore no relationship.

OK, one last hint about our Italian looking sporty coupe: it wasn't built or sold in the Northern, or Eastern Hemispheres.
 
Going once...twice..

Perhaps it's from Brazil, then. Lots of specialty builders there in the '60s.

Right you are Stephen, it's the 1966 DKW Malzoni of which 35 were produced by Puma from mechanicals supplied by Vemag, the Brazilian subsidiary of DKW. After Volkswagen's takeover of Auto Union-NSU, VW do Brasil decided to supply Puma with parts to enable Puma to build an interim version the Puma DKW Malzoni GT ca 1967>
 

 
In the 1970s Puma began building the Beetle-based Puma GT which proved quite popular in Brazil.>
 

 
FWIW, the Italian-sounding name comes from Puma Automovilia's founder Genaro (Rino) Malzoni, an Italo-Brazilian auto racing enthusiast from Sao Paolo.
 
Pay attention guys, Puma will be heard from again.
