What was this car called, what engine did it use, who built it and the year it was built.
One point for the complete and correct answer.

Yes that's it! Another point for you.
The Astur Ford was one of two cars built by Ron Steis of Toronto, Canada.

Perhaps you were more interested in the yellow ATL-Osca in the background?
