Solved : DAR 78 : Alfa Dana - BMC Formula Junior 1959
« on: March 26, 2023, 08:24:54 AM »
I've found a replacement. (The repeat was the 1958 F2 Fry-Climax driven by Mike Parkes)

Please can I have the make, formula, year and country of origin for this little racing car?

It's a Fiat-engined Formula Junior from circa 1959. The wheels are interesting - is it an Osca?

Don't you think the engine could be BMC?

BMC engine (2 inlets, three exhausts), Elva-wheels, torsion-bar-front-axle, De-Dion-rear-axle,..
Could it be the Hillwood BMC, Formula Junior?

Elva wheels were mentioned, is it an Elva-BMC 100?
