I have no idea. Beyond the name of the car and its driver/builder, I have records from five races which indicate the class in which it competed. That's all I was able to find.

[Edit: I did another search and was able to find a reference to the engine manufacturer, which leads me to believe it was liquid-cooled.]

Recap: Built in the U.S. circa 1966; ran in SCCA C Sports Racing class; powered by Climax motor

New "freebie" hint: This was the second car by the builder to carry this name.

Perhaps a less-altered image will help:
