Valour Formula Junior

My souce says it was powered by a 1100cc Cosworth Ford engine rear mounted through a Hewland Mk 4 or 5 gearbox was built out of the Huntly workshops. The car weight estimate was about 880 lbs with a height of 26 1/2 inches to the top of the screen.

Yes. It was built in 1960 by Auto Research in New Zealand, and was the first production racing car from that country. The company later went on to build a series of Formula Vee cars.
