Did the event depicted in the puzzle photo take place in Denmark?

Sorry, I don't remember, where the photo has been taken. I can imagine, that it has been at an Danish place. But I am not sure about

Special by Niels Abild, which he says was built to compete in a 1600cc class. Lotus Twin Cam? As for the designation, I can't quite make out the script on the nose. Tiger?

Perfect! Yes! It is the Niels Abild Special. I think, the script says 'Tiger', but I am also not sure about.
1600ccm, but not Lotus Twin Cam engine. Please have an eagle-eyed look at the car, then it will be easy for you to find base, engine and year. May be also the origin of the shell

I don't see many familiar bits there to be honest. (Tail lights from a late-'60s Beetle.) However, based on the front wheels and the shape of the rear fenders/wings: MGA?

Please have a look at the driver's position
