Vista Formula Ford car

These cars (or perhaps it was just one!) were made in Dewsbury in Yorkshire, in around 1969/70. I remember seeing an advertisement by the manufacturer, showing a car with a long pointed nose, but apart from that, I know nothing about them at all. Can anyone enlighten me, please?

Dear Dave Morgan,

This is what I found about de Vista Formula Ford car in a old Autosport Magazine.
(advertisements)

Vista

An Autosport ad in the Jan.27.1972 issue touts the first FF produced by the Asquith Brothers (Engineering) Ltd. of Dewesbury, Yorkshire.
It was called the Vista (which apparently stood for "Victory In Seventy Two Assured") and type-number "111".

It is now owned by Martin Asquith Fox son of the original builder. Martin raced it in HSCC Formula Ford in the 90's but unfortunately had a bad accident at Cadwell Park resulting in the car being severely damaged along with Martin's ankles.

Absolute amazement here - I'd almost forgotten all about this! Thanks Henk and James. I have a vague recollection of seeing the car in a race at Rufforth in the early 70s with Mike Fox at the wheel, but I can't be 100% sure (aging brain cells, etc....).
