Tough to Crack Car Puzzle #198
A race car in this week’s Puzzle. And not just a one off, but it was part of a small series of nine cars. Built in a country where they speak the same language as the country of the engine. The car is road legal but is mostly competing on the track. Fun fact: it has its own Facebook page.
Well, this makes it possible to find out what car it is and some basic information, but we want more from you. Please tell us everything you know or what you can find!
The Rules:
Please send in your answer in a comment, in maximum 100 words. Do this before Monday evening and do not forget to give us your sources so we can check them. See next week if you are the winner of the full 5 points in the six months competition, sponsored by Hans Compter Rare Cars.

Think it could be a Huffaker Genie CanAm car raced in 1965-66 with Oldsmobile V8 propulsion but I'm probably wrong!

This very fast racing car is an Attila Mk7 powered by a dry sump V8 Chevrolet engine with 4 twin choke Weber carburettors. The ingenious front suspension was a clever design with vertical inboard coilover shock absorbers. Attila cars were built by Racing Developments of North London and later Woking in Surrey. The designer was Val Dare-Bryan, formerly of Lotus (and the designer of, amongst other things, the fantastic mini based Unipower), the builder was Mark Perry, and it was funded by racing driver Roy Pierpoint who raced Attilas with some success in the 1960s.

Attila MK7 built in 1963 in England by Roy Pierpoint, one of a series of nine cars, homologated in 1965. It has a Hewland LG500 gearbox and a dry sump Chevrolet V8.

There is all the history of the races on Racing Sport Car.
I have a photo of the car during Vernasca Silver Flag in Italy this year.
