McLaren M1B/FA by Bud Morley?

Yes! That's very well solved, although it is from your home country. I had never heard of this car.

It's actually a McLaren Mk1B (known as the Mk2  in the USA) converted into a single-seater in order to race in Formula A.

For comparison purposes, here's a standard McLaren Mk1B sports-racer before Morley cut his into a different shape.
