browsing my books I spotted this pic with an ASA 613 (?) in race-trim. Never knew that it started on competitions.

OK, I'll delete this from my Puzzles to Post file now then!
Was going to post it next week (I know some pictures of it have been posted before but it's never been a puzzle in its own right).

I think this is an ASA 613 RB of 1966

That's the car!
It was described as being built in 'polyester' but whether that means GRP I'm not sure.
Maybe other ASAs were steel/aluminium?

[woodinsight]

Not sure about the material used but I'll check it

Does anybody know which coachbuilder did this car? Certainly, Bertone wasn't

And who might have designed it??

Thanks.
