what this?

Can anyone identify this car? I know its a Vee - possibly an early 70's Austro but does anyone have a clue exactly what it is?

my observations are

1. its a singleseater....
2. Raced in 750Mc
3. Look late 70's/80's
4. A class lower or similar to the Formula ford

best bet is wait for jr ewing he's pretty knoledgable with these kinda things

Maybe it's the mysterious McLaren Ron is too embarrassed to race this year?

With Hella and 750MC stickers on the side, its definitely a Vee. I think Hella sponsored the 750MC F Vee championship around 95-97. Looks like a Scarab tub but I've never seen that bodywork on a Scarab. Where did you find it? Do you own it? Is someone selling it? Give us more info please.

One thing I'm sure: It is not a Veemax.

It looks like an old wrecked single seater, a good clue to not buy it. twisted frame. no wheels. Where's the motor and suspensions-it is a tub huh?
Oh a SLED! for winter time! take it to the hills (or better take it to the wrecking yard and bury it.)

seriously, A formula Vee, 70's-not a jedi...I'll go with scarab as well it looks closest to that to me

I'll also have more info on it - yes I'm probably gonna buy it later today (simply becuase its very cheap).

If it is a 1969 car it cannot have raced in Monaco as the only FVee race there was in 1967.Replaced by F.France(Renault) in '68.

perhaps it didn't then - Alan seems to think its one of the very early Austros - were there any Austros there in 1967? did Austros even exist then? this is very curious.
