Do you know what car this is?

[rhysenna]

Came across this car in one of my books and thought it would be interesting to see if anyone knows what it is.

Make, engine and year?

Its the year that I find interesting. Sorry about the quality, had to take a picture from the book. Couldn't find one online.

No but that's what I thought when I saw it. Be interesting to know if the 2 are connected in any way.

Well they won in 75, so 75?

But obviously it ran in other years

The book's from 1974. Thought it looked well ahead of its time for '74.

I can only find pictures of the open top version. Do you know if it ever raced with the closed top as in the picture?

Photo appears to show what was the 75 LM winning body but with the 74 style light (impressions) on it

75 car was less pretty running with oblong lights in stead of the round ones of its predecessor
