Not that I am aware of, no.

It's just that the rim widths are the same front and rear. At first glance it looks like a prototype Maserati T63, but I'm pretty sure it's British. The pic looks like an early-season demo to the press - is it British?

Is it a Crossle 9S? In which case it was built by John Crossle about 6 miles from my home - powered by a Ford twin-cam and built circa 1964.

Is this a one-off, or from a low-volume manufacturer?

Like many racing car makers of the time they made a number of cars, but probably no two were the same..
