Why does it have so long wheelbase?  :scratch:

Built only for racing?

To be honest I don't know as much about this car as I would like to...
However I belive it is a pure racing car or at least built primarily for racing.
As for the long wheelbase, I can't say I'd noticed that especially. I think it might just look like it has one due to the angle of the picture and the fact its a low built car.

Maybe asking the obvious, but - Italiano?
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

An RML built by Ray Mallock Racing?
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

Front end certainly looks like it's right off a Lotus 7

Not Australian and to be honest I'm not sure of the engine type. I'm not sure if this car was built mainly for hillclimbs or circuit racing but I believe earlier cars from the same make were built primarily for hillclimbing.

This is the JRM Sports Racing from New Zealand.
Built in 1967 by John Minel it is a 'one-off'

Since 250GTO is not active anymore I try to moderate this..

I guess there's only a small typo in your reply. Would be nice if we could finally move this to the solveds.

Locked of course!
