That is one UGLY car!
That sounds like a new thread?

Another Daimler Hemi powered dragster for the list:- Peter Jefferies Chiltern Valley Charger altered with blown 4.5 Daimler power and Scimitar body ran in 1976 (see funny car body thread for pic)

Could be a Trabant, I would like to think it is a Austin A 40 Farina?
One ugly sucker though!

TimeTravel, Peter Jeffries entry is there as SCA12 but its listed in the 1977 Santa Pod programme for April 30th/May 1st - The May Day Summer Nationals - as ‘Brute Force‘. The Reliant Scimitar bodied altered also made programmed appearances at the Santa Pod Season Opener March 20th and the Spring Nationals April 8th/11th. As you say what happened to it afterwards is anyone’s guess!

1974
Ian Shanks JD33 - Shank’s Pony 2548cc

Here is Ian Shanks but it seems like a move to 'Middle Dragster' and a change of name unless this is a different car.

If you look at the M on the race no it looks like it's been added as there's a lighter square around it and also the weight is written below it and looks to have been changed as well so my guess is the dragster had been lightened which changed the power to weight ratio putting it up a class but I can't find it in any programmes with that no listed and I think the name has been changed to "Black Gold" and judging by the trousers this pic must be from the early to mid 70's!
