It's almost certainly going to be a 1/12 Lancia D50

 

New pics show that it's a single seater:

With closed rear wheels:

Which doesn't leave a lot of options.  And since MFH have already done the D50 in 1/20 and 1/43, it's a really obvious candidate.

Now that an engine pic is posted:

There's basically zero doubt.  All we need is the official confirmation, versions and price.

...and it's official.  Oh, and since this is Britmodeller, its worth noting that British driver Peter Collins won the French and Belgian Grands Prix in this car, if anyone's debating which version to buy.
