Antonio Palacín, editor of the Spanish classics magazine Autodromo sends a few snippets taken from two Spanish movies of the late fifties, early sixties. 

Let's concentrate on the white Barchetta above and the red roadster which appears on the click-through.
Antonio Palacín writes: "This movie is "Fin de semana" (1964). A white Barchetta with a red stripe can be seen. It looks like a rear engined car, but I'm not sure. Front lights from VW/Porsche?"
Here is a second very vague snippet showing the car from behind. One could easily believe it is a Porsche 550 Spyder. But is it? The air inlet on the front of the rear wing suggests otherwise...

About the red spider (a second snippet of that one showing here) Antonio Palacín writes: "This movie is "Las chicas de la Cruz Roja", from 1958 (see the youtube trailer). A little red sportscar can be seen. Italian? Fiat based? (editor: or again a Simca 8 ?)
