See what I've found!

So we were on holiday in Tuscany with my GF, sleeping in a hotel in Montecatini Terme and I found this tiny museum with a handful of sportscars. Ferrari F40, Lamborgini Countach, Ferrari F355. This kind of cars. It was closed due holiday, and the whole thing was only one small room, but it had a huge window and I found this baby sitting in the front row.



Seeing a car like this in itself is very interesting, but then my girlfriend spotted something on the green stripe on the windshield...



The car was signed by Arturo Merzario himself! I certainly did not expect to find something like this in a small Italian town
The single question remained: When did Merzario actually drove this car? I was through his results but I couldn't find any when he was driving this particular model. Any ideas?

Great find! Although this is what I like to imagine a normal Italian garage looks like...

I think your question may well be suited for somewhere like the Nostalgia section of the Autosport forums - they might also be able to ID the other signature to the right of Merzario's. I think the car may well be a Porsche 906, but it's difficult to tell, as there were several similar models and variants competing at around the same time, and I'm not an expert in this field.

After a little bit of digging, I found these two photos of the same car at a show in Montecatini Terme, in Tuscany.
