This is a really beautiful car, all that a midget should be. It looks like a prototype in design for the Skirrows. This is what midgets were meant to be, not like those rear-engine monstrosities that currently dominate the UK's GP Midget Car scene.

I think that the man in the wheelchair sitting by the midget is museum owner Dan Rouits.

Totally agree thidturn, a truly beautiful machine and easily recognisable as a contemporary of the Skirrows and Eltos.
