I don't know the exact years, but I think probably from 1965 onwards.

No

By the way, the car passed through the hands of multiple subsequent owners and was raced in different configurations and probably under various names. Since I don't have many of these later details, I can't rule out the possibility that one of your guesses could be a later iteration of the same car. But I'm looking for the car's creator, original name, and original mechanical composition.

This puzzle has been stalled for over a month now, so maybe it needs a little nudge in the right direction:

I think the key to solving this one is to focus on identifying the builder first (previously featured on AP and known for a different car ;)).

No, but that would make a good future puzzle!
