It looks very much like this one, but I don't know if it is an exact match or not.

It is the one. I've found some more photos of this car here: Link to "www.asmonzaracing.com"

The page says it's chassis 160 from 1968. But there's a problem. Lola chassis lists websites say chassis 160 is a "continuation" model built in 2007.

And this auction site says chassis 160 wears a red body, not very dark green like our car.

And in this interview, the owner/driver says he bought the car in 2007.

Maybe there are 2 chassis 160s?? Seems fairly solid that Continuation 160 is the red/white one, built 2006. But there's another reference here to green #3/Jason Wright being 160/1.

Possible solution at bottom of this list that chassis SL76/160 was sold as a bunch of spares in 1990s(?) to Australia (so not a completed car or formally acknowledged as a properly assigned number) and this is what became the green #3/Jason Wright car. Noted also from that list that SL76/161 seems to have been another backdoor departure as a batch of spares going to US, but there is also a Continuation 161.

That's plausible.
