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.
