No coincidence.

The "Ecurie Ecosse" team was a Scottish team based in Edinburgh.
The St Andrews cross is their team emblem.

BUT this car is a replica !!
The REAL cars were either MWS or RFS plates, NEVER OFS

EDIT" A little bit of digging and it IS a fibreglass replica built in 1990.
NOT the same as a "real" one
