It looks like a Porsche, but some details don't convince me, did it race in Europe?

There is a lot of Porsche in the car. It did not race in Europe.

Correct. One point to you.Bill Jennings was a prolific builder of specials - some of them have been previous puzzles. This one was built in 1959 using an engine from a Porsche RSK sports car and raced in South African F1 events including the WDC Grand Prix. It looks remarkably like one of the Porsche 718 factory cars.
