The engine should be Volkswagen, right? It looks a lot like formula Vee or Super Vee car.

No, nothing to do with a VW.

Do you mean it's simply Formula-3 car?

To the best of my limited knowledge about this car, yes.

It has some Van Diemen traits, but I couldn't find any F3 cars with such a look, just FFord ones...
But I hope I've got the country right.

Not a Van Diemen, and I don't think you've specified a country as yet, although I can guess the one you're think of.

It has a Burt Strut ( named after female hillclimb racer Patsy Burt ), so it is probably a hillclimb car.

Well spotted on the chassis/suspension front, but as I say, this is one car that I don't know a great deal about, apart from its identity and some very limited background.

I know what it is, but you won't promote it in time, I'm sure!  ;D

It might well be a hillclimb car, but those have often had a lower rear wing (not always, though). As for the country, I meant the UK.

Sorry Shamrock, I feel mean as you've given some good information, but Otto Puzzell got the correct answer first, as it is the Hartwell Delta Imp, so he gets the point.
