Obviously a late 60s racing car museum or display.

It's annoying me as I can't identify the single seater on the plinth. It does look a bit Lotusish, but the badge doesn't. Top left photo behind it is Jim Clark winning French GP at Clermont Ferand in 65 in Lotus 25/R6. Rh is John Surtees in a Ferrari 158 in 64 probably the US GP Watkins Glen from the back ground, doesn't look like Mexico. The middle photo looks like a Brabham, but more 67 so would be Denny Hulme. The 2 other photos are of the winning WDC in their car of that year.

The sports racing car is a Porsche 906 from 1966, so that is why late 60s unless a temporary show. lots of GT40 and MK2 Ford photos on wall. The car on right is obvious, but the hydrolastic suspension isn't half inflated.

Looks a bit like a Crossle 19F or 22F, but can't say for certain. If it is - a lovely little racer built in Holywood, Co Down, Northern Ireland (where Crossle racers are still being built to this day)

Definitely '64. Ferrari were in dispute with the governing body over homologation of the 250 LM and withdrew their licence, so the cars raced in NART colours of white and blue for the US and Mexico GPs.
