Looks like a poor attempt at a bad 1970's John Players Special Lotus...
Best to you!

That would be a Doyusha Lotus 72. The series also included a Tyrrell 001 and BRM P160 which were also issued by
Entex. Unfortunately they are all somewhat caricature like in shape and the tires are just silly. They are about the
only option in 1/24 for these cars and if you use the tires from a Marui Ferrari 312/Tyrrell 007 you can produce a
passable replica.

Thanks guys. Anyone else with info, please let me know.
Yes, the tires are really strange. The fronts, in 1/25, measure 18" and the rear 21"! The wheels are'nt bad but are part of the tires! the general detail isn't all that bad.
again, thanks,
Pete
