Built in the 1970s, but I don't know the exact date.

Yes. He built a few cars but they were all different.

Sorry, but I don't know. I have a small amount of information about the car, and I believe it was based on an existing race car which would have been fitted with a British engine built specifically for racing. I am only assuming that this engine was retained for the puzzle car.

Based on a car which could be used for F2 or F3. The only information I have is based on what people have posted on the internet, not necessarily fact.

Were his other cars race cars too, or rather street legal cars ?
