What race car is this, from when does it date and who was responsible for the bodywork ?

You've got the right car and year (1978), but I also need to know who was responsible for the bodywork. Locked for you

Dallara?

mekubb · « **Reply #4 on:** December 24, 2013, 04:33:07 PM »

Not Dallara, less known

Cant find any online references to the body design on this car.

Was the concern responsible from the Netherlands?

I have checked myself on the web if the constructor of the body can be find, but it is quite difficult.. So I will award you the point for finding the right car and year and leave it open for the bodywork to gain an extra point.

Probably the most well known racing car body design and construction company at the time this car was built was Specialised Mouldings of Huntingdon in the UK, but I have never seen any written mention of KSR in connection with their work.

The wing designs on this car look very similar to the delta wing Lamborghini used on the Countach 5000S which is what made me think of Dallara.

Not Huntington, but it's from Europe

Luigi Colani ?

mekubb · « **Reply #10 on:** December 27, 2013, 07:05:47 AM »

Not Colani, less known. In fact, I had never heard the name before but that doesn't say much...

Does this person have an aerospace background?

mekubb · « **Reply #12 on:** December 27, 2013, 10:50:03 AM »

I have no idea, I only have his name and where he's from

WayneB · « **Reply #13 on:** December 27, 2013, 12:51:41 PM »

So the constructor isn't from Holland?

mekubb · « **Reply #14 on:** December 27, 2013, 02:02:24 PM »

No not from Holland, but Europe it is.
