Solved NIC#168 - 1967 WP111 Holden (a.k.a. Pitstock Holden Special)

For one point, what is this car, what powers it, and when was it built?

The Ferrari-nose led to the answer: WP111  Warren Pitstock and Mick Rock. First raced in 1967, powered by a Holden Six (186 red motor) with triple 45mm weber carburetors all 200HP driving through a VW tunnel box transaxle. The body molds are Lotus 22 with a flared Ferrari-like nose.

It could be the Assegai powered by Alfa Romeo built in South Africa in 1961 or 1962

A complete and correct answer. One well-deserved point.

I notice that this car is currently for sale in Australia, and is entitled Pitstock Holden Special. I have changed the puzzle title accordingly so that future searches will not confuse anyone.
