Well done ! I don't know much more about it - the photo is from 1970, and the events were held in the Hauts de France region, up near the border with Belgium. I think it was just a bunch of friends who built and raced these cars, rather than being a formal ratified series.

Perseverance again TT !  I like it.

PS 200 points and rising.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Exactly. Later on it became the formal Autocross championship.
