The body looks awfully similar; is it Gord Henderson's Ratel Mk 1 then?

Begra ?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Begra was a series manufacturer, I believe. This car is not from such a manufacturer.

Sorry - I missed that. Not Gord Henderson's Ratel Mk 1. That one had a Ford engine, didn't it?

The body is very similar to the Ray-Ford Special (from the rear anyway), so is it an off-the-shelf body?

From the front and side, there are significant differences. I believe it to be a one-off

It doesn't look like a big car, but we know it's not VW,Porsche,Alfa , Crosley or Ford powered. maybe it IS a V8 - Chevy ?

I thought it might be small, but not that small. Even knowing the race class, I've found nothing yet. Fiat engine ?

Now we're getting somewhere.

Your H-mod guess, and this guess, have earned you a lock until my reply to your next guess.

Thanks for the lock.

It's the Scrounger-Saab, built and raced by Dick Jacobs in 1962.

Well done, I was waiting for you to fail! Apparently he was assisted in the build by Jim Gladish.
