Barrett's #75 - Solved- Hrubon Gordini 1300 1967

What's this car, what engine does it use and what was it doing in this photo?

I think this is the first Hrubon which was the brainchild of Frenchman Jean-Claude Hrubon. It had a 1.3-litre Renault-Gordini engine and was entered for the 1967 Le Mans 24 Hours test day which I hope tallies with the photo. It certainly didn't make the race as it was painfully slow. A slightly more conventional-looking version was entered for the following year's race but failed to qualify. I seem to remember future F2 champion and Grands Prix winner Jean-Pierre Jabouille had a go at making it work, obviously without success...

Another perfect answer, well done!
