It was built in the 1970s, but it's not a Formula 1 car.

That's right. It was built in 1974 by Don O'Sullivan from parts of the M18 - other parts were made into a sports-racing car. Power was a Repco-Holden although a Chevy was fitted later. The photo dates from 1976 when the car was ressurected after lying dormant for a year.
