Title: Solved : DAR 78 : Alfa Dana - BMC Formula Junior 1959
Post by: D-type 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?

Could it be the Hillwood BMC, Formula Junior?
