All the sources I've got (several magazine's articles) report it was built for a specific 'race'....where it was going to run alone...but against another car...that raced long before.... ;)

Well, I just can't find it, I need to narrow down my search criteria.

Apparently it was made in the sixties, so was it built in 1966 ?
