I know it isn't cal look but not everyone on here goes into the racing section, so does anyone know this car? Just got the pic forwarded to me and don't recognise it

sure someone will know , maybe Keith Seume would know?

I've got a feeling it was a Scandinavian car that had come over - worth sending Frallan a message?

Wasn't Trimco a Swedish engine builder or something?
So perhaps a Swedish car?

It's now Henk Hendricks' 'Hot Rod Duisberg' car, as seen at EBI.

That car did a 10.67 and 208,8km/h back in 1981. Micke Svens was the diver for the team back then.
Check out his web site www.spezialmotorer.com under the  about us section for another picture.
