Bingo! We have a wina (that's NY for winner).
2 or 3 of the sports car Scarabs are vintage racing here on the left coast.
I saw an article that said the F1 Scarab ran at the Monaco historic F1 race.

Rich,
That was Lance Reventlow and he had nothing to do with "these" Scarabs. He
was the son and heir, I believe, of the Revlon empire. His engines were
built by TRACO as were his cars.
