The design was probably started in the 1950s, although the car finally appeared in the 1960s.

Not F1.

It is F2 yes, but we've had the Smith before, so it's not that.

Could it be the Laystall-Climax? 
Or have we also had that before?

That's the point - we haven't! I was quite surprised, I thought it would have been right up "woodinsight"s street.

It appeared in 1960, too late to be effective against the rear-engined cars. Financed of course by UDT-Laystall. Most stock images show a different bodystyle to this one.
