I don't think so with the twin rear wings. Probably British but smaller than a Jag - not saying it's a Lotus 11, but something of that calibre. |

Arnolt Bristol Link to "www.google.com" ? |

That's the sort of name I'm thinking of (I've also looked for instance at Cooper, Connaught and Kieft without finding anything useful) but I don't think Arnolt ever had such unusually tall rear wings. However Lotus Mk.IX did. Not sure if rest of shape is exact match - seems a bit taller and higher off the ground as seen above. If it's not a Lotus (9 or 11) the streamlining seems to follow Frank Costin's aerodynamic ideas. Can't find a good list of his mid-late 50s racers, but he did stuff for Lotus, Cooper, Lister, and Vanwall's F1 cars - some of his stuff shown here. |

I find the nose too short to be a Lotus or most of Frank Costin design ideas. Are there more racing cars out there with a front end (and rear wheel arch) similar to the Arnolt Bristol? |
