1968, Spectre HR-1, Formula A. Not sure which event is shown here, but Ron Grable drove this car in 1968 and then Tony Settember in 1969.

You have the answer exactly correct, and win the point. In fact you have even provided the same photo of the car which I was going to use to show the car as it is today. The puzzle photo is from a period ad when the car was for sale.
