Lotus 35

It certainly looks like one, but small racing cars in those days often looked alike.

This car is very obscure. Not a Lotus.

It's not a Birel. If you can find out which race this was, you may be able to trace the car.

This one's a bit harder than usual for my puzzles, but let's see what the pros think.

I think this is what you want: it is Franco Foresti with Speedcar F3 at first Coppa di San Piero a Sieve in 1967

Nothing ever lasts long (for me) in the Pros. A point to serra, the man with the enormous file on old racing cars!

This car was an irregular entrant in the Italian Formula 3 championship in 1966/67. Apart from that, I can find absolutely nothing - I wouldn't be surprised to find it was a renamed Brabham or Lotus.  ;D

I must recognise that I found the car by chance last week, I had lost hope of finding this old puzzle time ago but when I was looking for other F3 car this image apeared, I recognize the background a part of Nicanary`s puzzle I dig into the page and I get the answer.
