For a point, who built this car?
On the next lap...
A Mallock U2?
But it is a Clubman's Formula car isn't it?
The last lap with the Pros...
Early Gryphon ?

Sorry Nicanary, I only have the name of the gentleman that built this car, so suspect it's a one-off (though not 100% sure), so suspect it's not a Gryphon.
Built in UK ?
Can it be found online ?

The Puzzle image was taken form a magazine, but that same article does also appear on-line, but it will take a lot of searching I fear!
Was it taken from Motorsport Magazine ?

No, a much more obscure magazine that no longer exists.
Is the image from the late 1960s?

No, not 100% certain, but it's from the early 1970s I believe.
Ford-powered?
BMC motor?
Interesting - a Clubmans Formula car that isn't powered by Ford or BMC.
Rootes Group engine?
No, not a Rootes Group Motor.
Vauxhall?
Engine from another country outside UK ?

No, a British engine.
I'm sure engines had to be based on a production unit. Is it from a tuning/racing company like Cosworth?
No, the engine was a regular production unit.
I hope an earlier answer re a Clubmans-style racer didn't confuse things as I took the Formula in its broader generic term...

OK. Reliant?
Yes, it used a Reliant engine. So, who made it?
So we have to think about 750MC builders of cars to the 750 Formula - and by the 1960s most had gone to an all-enveloping body style such as this from an earlier puzzle:

Yes, I guess so...
Is it the car of Paul Lawrence?

Sorry but not the name I have.
Was it raced outside of the UK?

I don't know, but I doubt it.
Is the builder known for any other cars?

Not to the best of my knowledge, although I can't profess to be an expert in Formula 750.
Does the article identify the event, location and date of the puzzle image?

No.
Was the article published in 1970-1973?

Going purely from memory I think the publication was c.1972-ish.
Up to the Masters.
Into the Black Hole.
David Coombs?
