I showed the bright glowing red Alfa a few days ago so I dug out its siter, the #202 Fiat Abarth 2000. Same style box but it has the dreaded hard plastic 'speedwheels'! Rubber tires on cast spoke wheels of the Alfa must have been too $$$ to make as speedwheels so Dinky went the dreaded hi-tech, 1970 Hot Wheels route! 😥 Issued by Dinky Toys England from around 1971-75.
The Fiat Abarth was a concept car designed by Pininfarina for the 1969 Brussels Motor Show. https://designyoutrust.com/2019/08/concepts-from-future-past-1969-fiat-abarth-2000-scorpione/
