Just bored stiff by the lockdown. Thank you for your kind thoughts in considering me some kind of specialist.

Steel wheels but not a Formula Ford engine - is it French?

Could it be Italian and a Formula 850 machine?

I should rephrase this. The car contains some French DNA, and possibly some French components, but it was not built in France. (Neither the engine nor chassis were built in France.)

Based on the last two questions, I could tell it was going to be a close race to the finish line.
