Only when it's driving backwards.  :)

No unorthodox features there.

Looks like the airbox from a 1600cc Formula 3 to me.

British?

Not a Formula 3, not British.

I identified the formula as Formule Renault, and I've found the car. It's advertised for sale as a 1969 Renault R8 Gordini, which it clearly isn't.

Do I earn a lock so that I can investigate?  ;)

Yes, as it is a 1969 race car powered by an R8 Gordini engine, not exactly a Formule Renault, but close. Locked for you.

I don't know how you found out the builder, because I can't find it anywhere else on the internet. Is it a GRAC ?

Four capital letters is correct for the name, but not GRAC.
I took the puzzle from an ad where the builder was mentioned.
