I only have a basis and a name for this modified race car. I can“t get more information for this one so maybe It was not absolutely right. Who knows this car?

It looks like Begg FM2 - New Zealand's Formula 5000 car with a 5-liter Chevrolet V8 engine.

Sorry I have other information about the engine and having on acount the type of formula in which I think it was based I believe that it is not the same car, but as I know that my info may be grong, you are right about its looks and I also think that the car is from new zealand and  I will lock it for you, for more photos or info about the origing of the Begg FM2 for in case the puzzle could have any relation with Begg.

I have tried again and I can get more info because I think I have found it but I am working today and I cant open that page from work but I think if you can find the base car you will be able to find my puzzle.

Was this car built in New Zealand or was it originally from the UK ?

Cancel that question. I've just found the car (I think) - the image has been deleted from the website where it is mentioned, but it refers to a wedge-shaped car, so I think it might be the Edbury-Ford, built by Larry Bryant and John Edwards from the wreck of a Valour FJ car, and later fitted with a 1650cc Ford twin-cam.

Yes you find it, I am sure that is the car, well done point for you. Bbut I think the car is called Edbry-Ford, by Edwasds and Bry. I had got it also as Edbury-Ford an this could be the reason I could not find, but today I have found it in two diferent sources.

:applause: :applause:

The Edbry Ford was merely a rebodied Valour Fj which was done by John EDwards and Larry BRYant. Somewhere along the line the original wheels were replaced with wider ones.
