I see what looks like a three-pointed star...

Gorgeous piece of art is what it is!
 
What a lovely thing, in our dreams.
 
Look at all the lovers in that hood. weeeee.

Might it be an Alpha.
 
1930's 'Black Prince' MB SSK?
 
I was thinking SSK as well.
 
It's an SSK with-I think- a special one-off body by Zagato or Touring. One of the better pre-war Italian styling houses. That car looks fantastic from any angle, but overhead is really quite startling!

The car is known as the "Count Trossi". It is/was a 1930 Mercedes Benz 720 SSK. One of 5 known 720's that still exists. The car was purchased by Trossi after its competition career was over and he sent it, chassis number 36038, to Willie White who fashioned a body of steel. White was a relatively unknown coachbuilder and he formed the body to Trossi's design which probably explains why the car is simply known as the Trossi Roadster.
