Solved - MJW #1112 - Ginetta G16 Oldsmobile V8 1970

So far as I can tell this sports racer has never been featured as a puzzle before.

For an easy Rookie point then, identify the make, model, engine make and year.

Not a BRM engine - have one last try (engine make and year) before I open it up again

You are a couple of years out with the date and it's not fitted with a Coventry-Climax I'm afraid..

BMW engine ? The G16 was introduced in 1968, so I wonder how it can be out a couple of years ?

Not BMW.
I meant this particular car that was first registered in 1970...

That's correct - it's fitted with an Oldsmobile V8 and another point for you.
