For a point, what is this, what engine did it use, and where was it made?

Not an Alfa-powered LDS I'm afraid.

There is a French connection, but it's not French.

Well done, that's the one. It was a Scandinavian Formula Junior, powered by a Peugeot 203 engine. Another point to you.

It raced recently in Copenhagen for the first time since 1964. The owner/driver is Petter Huse - the report reckons the car was built in Norway and is known as the Focus IV, so possibly there were 3 previous iterations.

PS Further investigation shows the report as incorrect - the Focus cars (and there were definitely a Mk I and a Mk III, because they're mentioned in race results) were designed and built by Lennart Sundin of AB Sportscars in Stockholm. Later versions were Ford powered (now there's a surprise........)

Thanks for the extra information Nicanary, and relieved to see that the car was Swedish, as I thought  :)
