I was not able to find this one, the tires looks newer than the rest car is it an F3?

You are very observant - I hadn't noticed that. Yes, it is a Formula 3 car, and the slick tyres would not have been fitted at the time it was built.

It's not a Ginetta, but you have the correct country of origin.

Yes - you've solved them all. Built in 1966 to a design by Tony Hilder, and constructed from mallite, an aluminium and balsawood sandwich which was light and fairly strong.
