Looks like what is left of the Tojeiro Jaguar. But I am probably wrong. Those front wheels look a bit special to me.

You wouldn't know if it was Jag powered or had the Chev in it by then, Carl.

Like everything back then....shove a Chevy in it.. Looking at the rear wheels suggests that the axle has been changed, yet the exhausts look remarkably Jaguar.....can just get a glimpse of the pipes behind the front wheel. Bonnet doesn't appear to have been bulged!!!!! Dont know.....over to you Carlo.

Brent raced it with the Jaguar engine. His "Special" claim to fame was when he raced it in the sports car races at Wigram and then fitted a type of hardtop to it and raced it in the Allcomers saloon car class later in the day.
He and Leo did get a bit of a hard time from Team Timaru over that but it did show that they were innovative.
Someone must have some photos of it at that meeting, it was a bit hard case looking.
