    Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

    I'm thinking Lola, but that's just a guess.

    Costin perhaps? Looks a little bit unrefined.

    My guess is its a Ford P68, successor to the GT40 and a failure on the racetrack



    obviously designed with the Mulsanne in mind. . .

    Look at that rear fender scoop. It's a Lola T-70 of some variant type.

    My first thoughts were that it looked like a Lola.
    There is nothing quite as permanent as a good temporary repair.
