Built by Competition Cars of Australia who were based in Goldhawk Road, London W12 (and not Australia at all!)

Steve Ouvaroff and John Rhodes drove them with some success in 1961 and 1962 respectively, but very few cars were ever built.

Ausper also planned to enter F1, using the Clisby V6, but the shortcomings of that engine (a porous block being the main one!) meant the car never progressed beyond the planning stage.
