Dear "gte4289", sorry to forgot, but now I want to congratulate you on your knighthood in the AutoPuzzles Kingdom.
I feel very proud for myself to do this within this puzzle, in the form of my usual generous style:
You are absolutely right with you answer, that it's the Japanese Brabham BT36 that was originally equipped with a Mitsubishi Colt R39B engine, then 1800cc Cosworth FVC, then 2000cc Ford BDA, etc. Drivers included Noritake Takahara, Shigeki Asaoka, and others: This answer alone deserves a valuable point
Since the brilliant picture provided, with a part of the name of the car written on the front cowl and clearly visible for both, the regency of AutoPuzzles and their subjects, deserves another valuable point for you!
Secondly some words to your answer's comment, "Here's what it looks like on a clear day" (I could also quote some more others from previous of my puzzles here)
I believe that you will hardly have to worry about democratically thinking people in the AutoPuzzles Kingdom in the future. Who conform to established rules, as the statistics show and the departure of many automobile enthusiasts, who sadly left this site.
If you feel annoyed about other players designed puzzles, there are several ways to address her/him your personal problem:
1) You discuss this problem directly with the other player
2) You ignore this other player's puzzles
3) You change the rules that all players have to follow and thereby eliminate a nuisance
4) You exclude this fellow player from participating
Today populist and divisive comments are popular and undemocratic forms of expression that aim to destroy legally compliant but undesirable individualism.
Good night democracy, long live the AutoPuzzles Kingdom
