Please excuse the poor-quality photograph, and give me the year and full name of this competition car for a point.

Its from the American Continent, but not from the USA, if that's what you're thinking.

Sorry, not 100% sure about the engine source, but the car is not a Mirage.

It's not an Astur is it?

You're right; it's not an Astur. Sorry!

Sorry, I don't know the precise engine size, but I do know that it is larger than 2.5-litres.

Construction of the car began in 1965, but it made its debut in 1966

Is it a one off?

Hmm, a tricky one to answer! I know the builder of this car certainly made some other models as well, but I'm not 100% certain if this particular cars was a one-off or not, and my research sources don't really help to provide this information either. Sorry

Apart from the one mentioned the only Canadian race cars I know are Sadler, Chinook and Dailu - I presume we can eliminate these.
