Solved - MJW #1030 - Jolus FJ 1961
« on: November 13, 2012, 01:16:54 PM »
Single-seater race cars can be tricky to identify but this one should be easy enough.
Identify the make, what series it competed in and the year for a point......

It is a small single-seater formula but not 500.....

It is 1961 and it looks like a Lotus 20 but it's not that.
I believe it's a copy of that car but it's not a 'one-off' either.
