It's not his first car.  He is fairly well known as he designed and built several cars, normally under his own name but on at least one occasion for someone else (or he sold a design to them)

I don't know. 
It may have been running in the 1500cc class or it might have been in the 1300cc class depending on which engine it had.

No it isn't.  But I'm not considering the driver part of the puzzle.
