I am not sure where this photo was taken, but the car was designed and built in the UK for Formula Ford racing.

At the time it was quite well known.

Winkelmann WDF-1

That's it! The reason I offered a point for one of 2 names is that most cars were exported to the USA and sold there as Winkelmanns. In fact it's the product of Len Wimhurst and Hugh Dibley and actually a Palliser. Having said which, of the 41 cars built, only one remained in the UK, so Bob Winkelmann was a smooth vendor. 

In a way the car has been a previous puzzle, but in that instance it was shown in Formula B form. Here's one of Winkelmann's adverts.
