Doesn't look British to me: those exhausts are not what a British (or other European) manufacturer would fit.

Post by: kwgibbs on September 09, 2014, 08:21:57 AM
my source says it was also called Lavinia, in the honor of the FEI benefactor. It was built  by the team of Ricardo Okubo,Ademir Fornasaro, Carlos Augusto Scarpelli,Flavio Vicenzetto, Gilberto Luz Pereira, and a host of several more people. I believe it was displayed at the 1972 Sao Paulo Auto Show.the engine was a Ford 292-cubic-inch v8 in the beginning but they decided to use most of the components from a dodge dart,then used a 318 v8 engine (198 bhp).
