The Anco. Built in the sixties by Joe Anziani and a man called Brian.  Ultimately won the 750MC Monoposto Championship with Brian Tofts(?) in, I think, '79

Ah...Mike Cowburn was the co-constructor. Brian was, of course, the ultimately successful later owner.

All of which is probably correct. I can't be bothered to check! A large Christmas dinner has done for me.

It is indeed the Ford-powered Anco driven by Brian Toft to win the 1970 Monoposto championship. It raced for a long time in the 70s and I think after that.
