Giacolot designed by Barry Lock? The name may also be Giacomol?

To your earlier post, Ford and BMC?  Any colour you like as as it's rust?! ;D

Anyway, this wouldn't be a Matich creation would it?

Is that a person or a company? The spelling is similar to that of a constructor associated with one of this car's creators.

The Matich I'm refering to was both a person (Frank Matich, Aussie racing driver) and a small-scale car production company.

No, then.

I've given you a little clue with my previous reply.

Dooh, I totally missed that obvious clue!   Intrigued to now know though what the link/person is that sounded a bit like Matich?

Leyland - Ford - that's what Otto was referring to - methinks.

Though I followed the other clue, the Giacottolo one and that's how I found it.

Leyford engineer Barry Lock later founded Kaditcha, a builder of open-wheel and sports-racer cars. As I now realize woodinsight ID'd Lock (but not the car), I'm throwing a bonus point his way.

All pics missing since the big crash.  This body of this car is rumored to be based on the J&S Hunter.  I found this image of the Leyford GT, taken in 2012:
