No, a British engine.

I'm sure engines had to be based on a production unit. Is it from a tuning/racing company like Cosworth?

No, the engine was a regular production unit.

I hope an earlier answer re a Clubmans-style racer didn’t confuse things as I took the Formula in its broader generic term...

Yes, it used a Reliant engine. So, who made it?

So we have to think about 750MC builders of cars to the 750 Formula - and by the 1960s most had gone to an all-enveloping body style such as this from an earlier puzzle:

Yes, I guess so...

Sorry but not the name I have.

I don't know, but I doubt it.

Not to the best of my knowledge, although I can't profess to be an expert in Formula 750.

Going purely from memory I think the publication was c.1972-ish.
