is it an classic Lola ?
Edit:
The shape of the front instantly reminded me of the Ford GT40.However this wasnt one.then i started to think it could be a Lola.As you (should) know, the Ford GT40 is a development of the Lola MkIV GT.The rear end of this Lola however is much higher. Could this be a further developed based on the Lola perhaps ?

No no no, Lola's would be way too straightforward for you
im trying to find out what the small letters on the "Coys" sign are.perhaps this proves to be a nice clue to whatever it is...
photoshop didnt prove useful here.Google was better.The picture COULD be tken at the "Coys Historic Festival at Rockingham". Now all we need to find is an entry list.
this is probably the company that has organized the event:

It's at Zolder, possibly that Lenham ?
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

héhé , fortunately , there are the best track's wafflesOriginally Posted by henk4
is it a sort of proto?A Jide perhaps?
By the way, this was not taken at Zolder, but another Belgian track which is far better and pleasant than Zolder or Francorchamps.
It is definitely not the Lenham, it's a British-built one-off.
do you have other pics of the race?of the week-end?
It looks like any generic GT40 replica...there's thousands. It could be anything.

Well, it is an honour to the GT40 for sure, I talked with the designer of the car and he told me the shape was loosely based on the GT40, since he was impressed by its design back in 1967.
The race was held at the Chimay circuit last weekend.
In addition, the company built this GT and was also into building single seaters in the late 60s and 70s.
it looks more like the guy was inspired by the Chevron B8. And now I understand that you were not asking us what the car was because you did not know Did Merlyn ever build a GT?Originally Posted by Cedric

Well, the front is undoubtedly GT40, and the Chevron B8 is more curvaceous still. Merlyn has never built a GT as far as I know of, just open sports and single seaters. nevertheless, as happened with this car, a customer could have specifically asked the designer to build a one-off. You know how does things go in the racing car business.
I won't hold out on you much longer, cos I might be getting on people's nerves not telling what it is.
