I know nothing about the car's race history
Do you know in which series it was designed/intended to compete?

I have a guess, but I am not sure about
With the understanding that this is only a guess on your part, would that be a UK-based series?

Was the builder a race car driver?

I don't think so. Hint: A racing team is mentioned as the the builder of the car

Yes, you areri8ght, we had this a puzzle some years ago. But not solved.
"Not solved," yet it's no longer active. Was it pronounced solved, but misidentified?

Did it have another identity at some point in time? In other words, was it built on a previous car/later become the basis of another car?

Definitely I don't know, but think no. I tried to find out more about this car, sadly failed

To recap:
  • Built in the UK by a racing team, 1969-1970
  • Bespoke chassis
  • Ford engine of unstated type/specification
  • Given a 'make' distinct from the builder's name
  • Intended series/class not stated
  • Photographed/published circa 1970, and then never heard from again (as far as you're aware)
Did the racing team build other bespoke cars, either before or after this one?

I don't know if they built other cars, but but they raced other cars
