Sorry oko94, I don't know any more. I have just rechecked my source and there is no reference to the engine size. I also think I may have been wrong about the car taking part in FJ and F3 events. It is more likely that it raced in single-seater events against cars with much bigger engines so possibly the engine was not reduced in size in order to qualify for the F3 category.

My apologies for providing misleading information.

(Here's another photo of the car taken in period, which shows the type of race it entered. Apparently this race was for Group O & M cars, which is new to me!)

Not that.

I have found out that Groups M & O are designations by the HSRCA for historic racing cars for the period 1961-1969. Obviously this is not the title for the category in period.

Has this Peugeot special competed in a Group O & M race after 2010 ?

It was definitely being raced in 2008, but I don't know about later dates.

I have found out that the engine was from a 1958 Peugeot 403 - 1468cc. So I was wrong about FJ and F3 unless the engine has been changed.
Sorry.

(It is on the internet - if you know the builder's name and Google it, there are several entries  )

Was that photo taken in 1964 ?

I don't know. It was on the information for the car on the "for sale" site.

[oko94]

(A clue - this one was named after the initials of the builder.)

Was the car's name an initialism (like DB) or an abbreviation (like Deebee) ?

[nicanary]

An initialism. Three letters representing the 2 first names and surname of the builder.

[oko94]

Was it the only race car built by this builder ?

I think he almost certainly built at least 2 other cars.

[oko94]

Were these two other cars single seaters too ?
