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.

That must be the smallest 5-litre stock block in the world.  ;D
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Oh, haha, I didn't even pay attention to the engine on the picture, the bodywork directed me to my answer :D

faksta

Please unlock it, I barely have time to look for a possible answer, maybe others will find it faster.

serra

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.
