Cool. I saw this car race at Watkin Glen in 1980. IMO, if you look closely one can see that this chassis was the forerunner of the Ferrari 126C2. Makes sense, since Dr. Harvey Postlethwaite designed both vehicles!

I was there at the Glen too. Not to belabour the point again (but obviously I will 😁) F1 cars were great looking in that era.
Very nice build. What scale and company?
Thanks.

Great Steve 😅 I was going to say the same! Look at the shape of nose and suspension fairing 😉
Nice to see this unusual one . Great job thanks for sharing
