I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Yes, it is Allan! But you can't have a go yet. Patience is a virtue.

A little bit earlier, not that marque, and not that formula. Oi! That's 3 questions at once, naughty!

Eh?  Surely a 3-part question merits a 3-part answer - Even if I got all 3 parts wrong)

How about a 1957 Smith-Climax Formula 2 car? (with implied question marks for each part of the answer  ;) )

How about you're dead right on all counts. Built by Gerald Smith who had previously constructed an F3 racer - he built a further F2 car in 1958 which was driven a few times by Alan Stacey.

Cornering fast.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Fiat based. When they planned these cars they always mixed up centimeters and inches

and that's before you remember that the Prussian inch (Zoll) 26.08mm, Paris inch (pouce) 27.07mm and British inch 25.4mm were not the same! Not sure about the Italian inch (oncia) if it ever existed  8)

Is that a BMC engine under the bonnet - surely those are SU carburettors. Is it a Halton?

Is it a one-off or is it related to a small manufacturer.
