A one-off, and built just prior to that date.

No. It would have been known in more general terms - it was widely used in the  BMC empire and wasn't used by one specific marque.

Not that car. A bit more obscure.

For a few races, yes. It was later raced in a British national category.

Not F3.  It was built to Formula Junior regulations but also raced in a single-seat formula which was only found in the UK.

Yes, in a way. It was a series of races which usually were part of a club meeting. The races were organised by a Register for these types of car which had to be made within some fairly "loose" regulations.

I'm sorry I can't tell you any more, but it would be too much of a clue.
