Sorry for the poor pic.
This car was on display in a Show.
The signs tells more or less what there is to know.
Make and model are there but: 1. I've never heard of it and 2. It looks like something different.

Witton GT 1966 Quebec Canada

Yes! 

Now, please, tell us more about it.
Even knowing the answer, there's not a single line in the whole web.
I found something after some searches in my database but only after I found the video where this pic cames from.
The only way you can find it was looking exactly for those videos in a certain website or using GSI (I tried and unfortunately it works  ) but of course that's not your case.

[Oguerrerob]

You said that was on a show, and then Hiawatha post Canada. So I googled Canada show Automobile and nothing, I insisted adding Quebec and appeared the puzzle picture what to took me to the video. The only reference is what is over the car.

[Paul Jaray]

Nice work! Now who can find out more?

Built by Len Witton?

Text by a car built by him:

Besides building about 10 specials Canadian Inventor (LFH Witton) Leonard Fredrick Hugh Witton was a photo-engraver, mock-up engineer for Boeing and a world class clockmaker. Building mostly Canada Class and Formula Juniors of the mall bore variety, this special was the only Chevrolet powered roadster Witton built and became his pride and joy. Sometime during 1959, Witton decided to enter the big bore club with his own design of a Chevy powered special. Working in the basement of his house much racing technology from the 'old school' went into the project by using chicken wire and plaster to form the body and chalk lines on the floor for suspension design. if fellow Canadian Bill Sadler was on a 'shoestring budget' Witton's resources were non-existent. This made life difficult but also gave the project Witton's creative heart and should and the time to think things through. Because Len could not afford a test track, the streets of Montreal were often echoing with the road of his race cars which also gave him notoriety. Unlike the Sadler race cars, most of the Witton specials were not front runners; usually due to breakage and lack of horsepower. Driver George pepper of Ottawa, had the most success from 1963-1965 winning several Amateur races. Very few of the 1950's specials competed as built into the mid-1960's being completely out-classed by the mid-engined big budget Lola's, McLarens, and Chaparrals. Lacking the horsepower of the big guns, the Witton could still handle corners like 'a weasel down a drainpipe' even though it was created when wind tunnels, cad-cam computers and exotic light-weight materials did not exist. The Witton was retired from racing in 1965, then driven on the street some and was lost for over 30 years. In 1999, Jim Collins of Vermont, while looking for old models in a garage just south of Montreal found the deteriorated Witton and persuaded the owners to sell it for $800. After several years of restoration and a few races later Collins famed sold it in 2004 to Wes Abendroth of Carson City, Nevada who 'fine-tuned' the restoration.

Len Witton was the 67th member of the famed '750' club in England which he joined in 1947. He died in 1996 while living in Seattle, Washington and is remembered throughout the international racing community as an innovative pioneer of Canada's racing heritage.

[Paul Jaray]

Exactly. That was my idea too.
His cars (at least the Special of your text) were RHD, both quite small, with the same side exhausts, etc.
Is there anyone who knows more? I can't find much on these Specials built by Leonard Fredrick Hugh Witton 

[Otto Puzzell]

The Leonard Witton who built the race car was a UK-born resident of Sammamish, WA. He went on to build and sell a number of retro-styled fiberglass kit cars in the 1970's, and died in 1981. Other that the same last name, I'm not sure there is a connection. I don't know that a an active Western US sports racer would be simultaneously building show cars for display in Quebec, a 4,938 km drive from his home.
