I appears to be, but it's not. There seems to be a connection, though..

Apparently yes!

This one is obscure and I haven't got very reliable info. I know who 'designed' it and which company's parts were used to assemble this car. That's all.

No, more obscure.

Genie IS not officially involved, but involved they are in a certain way.

Yes it is! The wheels look like Bizzarrini's. Anyone with an idea about that?

I don't know where the wheels were sourced from (see photo below where the car has four matching wheels).
I believe the body is a Genie Mk 10 and the engine an unspecified V8. It was built as/or resembles a CanAm car.
That's all the information I have.

It would have been a USRRC car...CanAm didn't exist until 1966.  Concept was pretty much the same, tho.

This car was auctioned recently at Bonhams where it was described as a 1962 car but still a Can-Am Special.
More misinformation on the Web and it seems Bonhams are no better than the back-street car dealers at knowing what they are selling?  I thought the auction houses employed experts?!
