It's one of them fancy vintage cars just like what this is :
It's a "replica" of a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost"
I'm a replica of Brad Pitt, albeit not a very good one...
I particularly like it when the "replica" builders use modern wheels and tyres, rather than the very tall, thin ones used in period, like the artillery wheels on the subject car... which is most definitely not a replica. It was built in 1921 and there's a hefty clue to its identity in this month's Classic & Sportscar.It's a "replica" of a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost"

Alfa Romeo G1 ?
Nope, but correct country of origin. ETA Although having just Googled the G1 it does look strikingly similar! The mystery car has more cylinders though.

If they normally built more mundane cars then it's not going to be Isotta-Fraschini. Fiat?
FIAT. Superfiat, in fact. From 1921 - Superfiat 520. 6.8-litre V12 (the first Italian production car to feature a V12), producing all of 80bhp.
This should be solved quickly.

BRM P351
That's the one. Very pretty, the right colour scheme, Weslake derived V12 giving a Matra-rivalling soundtrack, 216mph (just 1mph slower than the Peugeots) on the Mulsanne on the couple of clear laps that it managed and...hopelessly unreliable.Oh well.

One of my favourite Brockbank cartoons - and unfortunately I can't find it to reproduce - was of a couple of young lads admiring a Bugatti T35B and saying something along the lines of "fancy spoiling a beautiful vintage car like that with a set of grotty modern alloys"...
