could it be a Moretti?

Looks mid 50's Italian to me, but its a hazy guess.

If it isn't Italian must be a yankie.

How about a Cunningham.

I hate these things.  It looks familiar, but what is it.

The body shape and lack of rivets suggests its fibreglass.
The full width screen says late 50s
The LH steering and awful piece of old ducting stuck on the bonnet suggests its american

Its something like a Cooper-Buick (which it isn't)

Very annoying.  :-[

Bits of it hint at cars, but nothing matches so far. Not sure its a US car, being white would suggest that but it looks too well made and tidy to be a one off special.

The photo also has an odd quality about it, could neil be playing a trick on us and the picture is a screenshot or something to do with the film Speedracer?

also whats that pod thing next to the front LHS wheel. Its painted to match but its all very annoying.

OK bit more info/clues, smalller prize now.  ;)

Its not an AC, (not english)

Its not American, so not Copper-Buick

Its not Italian

One of two racing cars, made by a major manufacture (and I'm sure you have heard of them  ::) - that will confuse and bring aguments later).

Car is made of Fiberglass, and had a speed of over 160mph (so I'm informed)

If it isn't all the major manufacturing countries, I'll try OZ.

So how about Holden.

Heaven forbid if it's South America and a Panamerican entrant.

But then there are still a few more major contributers to the automotive map.

No - not Oz or New Z-land

or South America, or any between there and Canada

Ohhh, this is fun.   ;D
