It is an Alfa GP Single Seater a One Off.   This car took 4.5 years to complete. All the body moulds were home made together with the chassis. The front running gear is from a Renault Gordini with a cross flow 1400cc engine and 5 speed box.

All very good, accurate information, but the car also has a name.  Do you know what it is called?  Locked to you for 48 hours.

Well done, that's close enough, is this is known (and badged) as the J.N.S. (John Nash Special), an exquisitely-built one-off based on a Renault 5.
