All of what you say is correct, but for the point I still want to know:

Who bodied the car?
What chassis was it based on?

McLaren M1B chassis, yes.
The body wasn't built by either Ghia or Fantuzzi though.
I see you've solved this one already when it appeared in woodinsight's Sports Racing Part 3, so here's a little bit of extra information you can look for that wasn't mentioned back then; it's out there in the ether!
Still locked for you.

Not this time!

Actually what I was looking for was Carrozzeria Sports Cars Modena, which is why I answered "No" to your question.
Then later I realised that's is in fact was Drogo called his company, so you are of course right!
Hence here's your 100th point and it's solved.
Well done.
