Yes. So that'll be just the few hundred to trawl through! In my OP I asked for the builder - I have realised that this may not be the present owner/driver  so the latter will suffice.

It races in the Historic 750 category. I can't tell you any more, and I'm wishing I hadn't selected this car as a puzzle!

Well found. I suppose it was just a case of finding the time to scan the entry lists! Another point to you,

I thought that the 750 Formula required mudguards as the cars were originally road going Austin 7 specials.  Or am I 20 years out of date?
