The puzzle car has not front flaps but I am pretty sure it is the Van Hool F2 1975-1976. It looks this car was built in Spain but for the Belgian Marcel Van Hool.

I was not absolutely sure because the nose was slightly different that the one apears in my photos and I could not find your photo but I have found the same car in a hill climb race and now I am sure it is the same car.

Very Good job, Serra, it's a Van Hool F2. My photo has been taken at the Hill climb of Fléron (Belgium) in 1980.
Van Hool is a bus builder. He had a big project for this race car, who build in 1976, and who did one race in track (Hockenheim in 1976).
In 1980, Freddy Grainal, a former driver in Formule V, bought the 2 existing car for make run in Hill Climb

Looks like a copy of the 1976 Shadow DN8!

Somewhere I have read that I was used a Shadow DN5 monocoque for its development but other suggest that it is inspired by a ferrari 312T2
