I don't think thats it, the OP suggests rear end is missing, and that one you linked to looks complete to me.

Yes - rather a lot of work to do there I would say. Been in a shed for a loooong time (or outside given that surface corrossion.)
looks a form of mid-engined design to me though..

Yes..... that I LIKE!!!!
Mid engined... with a transaxle.. hence why there appears to be no back end to it...
Would make a FNATASTIC project.... I wish I had the time/inclination/money lol

The car itself isnt a bad looker either - sort of 70s sports racing job. Love that rear wing...
the collection of parts look interesting - although with all that surface rust they may only be useful to use as pattern parts to make anew.

There's not much that gets me excited, but that realllyyyyy does.
As others have said, definitely a mid engined car.
Looks like a Chevron B19 but isn't one.
Possibly an older Lola ?
Paging all the usual suspects who know about such stuff.
Minitici - British Trident - Rotorman ?
Even better, it's a feckin' basket case.
Must - not - bid.
Oh no...........
I've done it...

Is that an aluminium monocoque with some bits of spaceframe for the suspension to hang off?
If it is then it probably needs all the rivets drilling out and replacing.
Other than that it should clean up nicely, bit of a project but has potential.
Good luck zil

I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. To get that piece of old junk up and running AND competitive would cost tens of £1000s.
It's scrap.

Indeed it is.
But the bodywork, now that I've tracked down what it actually is, is shall we say it, uber rare.
And it has some very considerable provenance and has raced in a rather famous race somewhere in france...
