SC screams 'EURO' style all over. Back then it was stickers, antennae and chrome exhaust tips.
I'd swear green and gold =LOTUS team. Brabham ?
green = British racing colours |
There Brabham's and look to be BT24's from the exhaust configuration |

Thanks for the uncropped photo. I was thinking it was a single cab but wasn't sure. Looks like a wide bed single cab. The circular stickers might be pit passes for this venue, but no idea why they would need four of them. Question about the side view mirrors. They seem to be Barndoor mirrors. Was this a hold over diuring the model change? |
I believe the single cab is an Esso support truck. The color matches and looks to be parked next to an Esso truck. Stickers are probably the circuit passes. |

Front bumper appears later style.
I'd say an artistic addition like the stickers. If you're building and racing exotic formula 1 cars, you want your service vehicles to reflect that attention to detail. This explains the chrome emblem as well!

Anyone know the significance of the symmetrically-placed circles/dots on the single cab?
