I would have guessed Formula V

I think they used 4 bolt wheels on Formula V's in Brazil.

Metalshapes is right that this is a Formula V car, not a Formula Ford.  Now that it's been narrowed down, it should be easy to get the answer.

The answer is far not so obvious as you thought, Djetset :) The Vee's were very similar to each other...

Is it a European car? Swiss?

P.S. Could you PM me some info on a book you are taking these shots from? Not to solve all your puzzles of course, but just of pure interest? :)

I wish a good reference book existed with these Formula cars in Faksta, but I don't have one.  This photo (plus the Ginetta you identified yesterday) came from some 'For Sale' ads I found in the back of some old magazines I was sorting through. :-\

I thought these two, Multi-Union and a couple more of your puzzles were taken from the same printed source...

Well, anyway, is the car European and, more precisely Swiss? I think you haven't yet answered that :P

To the best of my (limited) knowledge, the car is European, but not Swiss.

You got it right second time around, as this is a Bora which (to the best of my knowledge) is French (but you may know otherwise).  Well done.
