Identify 'Waisted' Italian Car Circa 1960?

[Flintstone]

For the last few months I've been slowly collecting information for a project during which process I came across a 'waisted' two seater with side exhausts. It was referred to in one text as a Vespa but that could have been with a small 'v' to indicate its wasp-like shape rather than the name of the model. The thing is I now can't find it which is frustrating to say the least.

In terms of looks it wasn't a million miles from the Lancia D24 (below) except more sculpted abeam the cockpit to accomodate side exhausts.

Any ideas?

Osca MT4?

Ummmm, no. No side pipes.

Anyone else?

Vespa - check
Sporty looking - check
Side pipes - check

Must be this one

It's like most answers, easy when you know them already
