Those modifications seem to be front end only, and start with a narrowed grille, a smoothed-out valance, rectangular Carello headlights, a modified bumper with turn signals mounted above it, and a revised hood with an air scoop – plus Zagato Elaborazione badges.

Look at this custom Mustang front end travesty, if you dare. I find it horrid. One of just two fastbacks that was modified by Carrozzeria Zagato in Milan when it was new

Looks grumpy
this Hillman Imp-based 1963 Zagato Zimp is one of three examples built because it was too expensive, and never went into production. Zagato canceled the project, and gave the three examples it made to employees. All three miraculously survived.
In the early 1960s, Milan-based Zagato sensed a demand for a coachbuilt coupe with a more budget-friendly price than Alfa Romeo-based models. It started with the Imp, Hillman’s answer to the Austin Mini, and its stylists penned a low-slung design characterized by sharp styling cues. It manufactured the body using aluminum to keep weight in check, and deleted the Imp’s flip-up rear window. Many interior parts (including the instrument cluster) were carried over from the Imp to the Zimp.
