Don't think it's formula Vee, they use the Beetles torsion beam front suspension. Poss formula Vauxhall?

The chassis is very "tall" so almost certainly not Formula Ford as their chassis are low, the bodywork makes them look higher, don't think it's Formula First cos they have a transverse CVH engine IIRC.
The way it has "no back" to the chassis may be a clue, possibly a one-off from the University challenge or similar? I have some old Formula Ford 2000 bodywork which might fit with a bit of persuasion, better still slap some Furore sidepods on there & it's (almost) a F1 car!

The shape is right for Formula Vee, but the comment about suspension is fair. What about Formula 750?

I thought they changed the rules and the later formula vees were allowed wishbone front end? Certainly looks very vee ish.

no room for the engine if its a terrapin!

I thought the first looked vaguely like it with the nose etc.

(i give up, tried to attach a pic of a first but failed. Its in my archive)
