Would the Ford connection be a Simca flathead engine ?
Yiou are right 'nicanary'! Well found
I didn't ask for the complete name of the car, so you gladly earn the point!

That was a great puzzle. I've never heard of this car. I know that Suarez built 3 single-seat cars copied from a Lotus 27, but with a spaceframe rather than a monocoque. I think the Taunus car was possibly one of these, and maybe this car was another.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia
