So, to avoid you looking up the code I've changed it so no good looking there! Here's an interesting car well known in racing cicrles.

I just want to say I wouldn't have revealed the last like that if several people hadn't already guessed it. :P

There are 10 types of people in this world. People who understand binary and people who don't.
jaguar C-type? I really have no idea
Nothing to say...
I'm thinking maybe a Lotus...Lotus 11 perhaps?

^^^ yes. Inboard discs reduces the effect of the unsprung weight.
Less mass at the wheels allows them to follow the road surface better and hence provide better grip/traction.
Judging from the colour and the Dion axle, possible a DB3, but I have not seen this dash on any of the 17 cars I met in real life.

No one is near so far. Jaguar C types had outboard discs, not inboard. Yes, it's a Jaguar rear end but the car? Think sideways!
Quote from How Stuff Works:Jaguar D-Type at LeMans
"Another item was tested but not adopted for LeMans: a de Dion rear suspension. The D-Type had been designed specifically for the French circuit with its ultra-long straight, predominantly medium-speed corners and unusually smooth surface, and Jaguar's traditional live rear axle worked well enough there.
On other tracks, though, the D-Type sometimes lost ground through wheelspin out of slow turns and wheel hop over bumps. The de Dion system, then common on Grand Prix cars and some of Jaguar's more sophisticated sports-racing rivals, was a halfway step to full independent suspension.
It retained the basic beam-axle geometry, so that the driven tires remained squarely on the road, but relieved the wheels of carrying the burden of a differential. In back-to-back tests, it seemed to make the Jaguar a little faster around some tracks. It would probably have shown no advantage at LeMans, though, and as a still-new, somewhat heavier design, it was left off."
Was it taken over in one of the Tojeiros or is it a Lister?

Kind of a wild guess, but Lola Mk1?

My avatar is me at Woodcote in my Lynx D type, but a Jaguar IRS has four shock absorbers and this has but two. No joy there then. A definitive answer from someone?
