That's the car we called Formula Toyota Super Cup. It's based on the F3 tub but with changes for safety (side head protection) and cost - e.g. the front suspension is a simpler setup and the pushrod doesn't pass through an aperture in the tub, instead it goes through a slot in the damper cover (hence crashing is less likely to damage the tub).
I don't think it was that bad for a composite chassis spec-formula car, bearing in mind we had to build 30 or so at a sensible price and no single seater with head protection at the time was especially pretty, even the expensive ones!
Having said all that I am more interested in the F3 cars and would certainly like to be reacquainted with one, and/or drawings from the time which I worked on.
