The design was probably started in the 1950s, although the car finally appeared in the 1960s.

Not F1.

Formula 2 Smith-Climax?

It is F2 yes, but we've had the Smith before, so it's not that.

Could it be the Laystall-Climax? 
Or have we also had that before?

That's the point - we haven't! I was quite surprised, I thought it would have been right up "woodinsight"s street.

It appeared in 1960, too late to be effective against the rear-engined cars. Financed of course by UDT-Laystall. Most stock images show a different bodystyle to this one.
