moved.

Allemano · October 06, 2010, 08:11:38 AM

Professionals?

faksta · October 06, 2010, 10:38:51 AM

Well, I guess it's an F3? Any Rak connection?

Allemano · October 06, 2010, 10:53:11 AM

Neither a F3 car nor any Rak connection I'm afraid...

faksta · October 06, 2010, 10:58:00 AM

I should have thought about the absence of a very distinctive Wartburg engine exhaust pipe before asking about Rak

Europe?

Allemano · October 06, 2010, 11:04:43 AM

Yes, it's from Europe.

faksta · October 06, 2010, 11:14:12 AM

Ford powered?

Wait a moment... European is not entirely correct as it was about to race under a not European flag...

faksta · October 06, 2010, 11:47:50 AM

McNamara? Hardly, though, but there were Mk1 F.Vees and Mk3 and Mk3B F3's... where is the Mk2?

Allemano · October 06, 2010, 12:50:48 PM

Not that, you're on a wrong track.

faksta · October 06, 2010, 02:25:13 PM

So, 'not European flag' is not American?

If that's your question: No!

Allemano · October 30, 2010, 07:57:53 AM

two clues:
It was built for more advanced racing than Formula 3.
Its name is quite close to a very common high-volume production car.
Probably I gave it away now..

woodinsight · October 30, 2010, 08:12:20 AM

Formula 2?

Allemano · October 30, 2010, 08:13:47 AM

No, my source reports something else..

Doubt that

But is it from circa 1964?

It's interesting, though. From the previously given answers I understand that it is a European developed project which was about to race as a non-European... Higher than F3... Hmm..

circa 1964, yes!

~~Can it be as high as Formula 1?~~ Stupid question..it seems to have a straight 4.

Yes it was built in Europe by partly European engineers, though the team-owner came from a non-European country.

Is this the Scirocco-Climax driven by Andre Pilette at the Belgian GP 1964?

Regarding the name you are very close, but it's a different car. Locked for you for 24h, respectively till your next reply.

woodinsight · October 31, 2010, 01:29:02 PM

Thanks Allemano but I haven't got much further with this.
I think it's only fair to let Faksta (or anyone else of course) to attempt to solve the puzzle.
I'll also respond again if it remains unsolved.
