The other photo was from 1979 as some of you said (sort of :P ), but the driver is none of those suggested...
Carlos Reutermann, 1979, Martini Racing Team Lotus
Nope. The driver was testing it at the time, but it was before he started driving for them.

I'm guessing it was one of the 6 wheelers, or more likely that it was a 4wd experiment. 4wd then?

I'm just trying to think of the 'several other special features'.... first car to feature integrated wings? I think the car is early 70's, even as early as 1970...

It was made of balsa wood in a very angular shape and the cockpit was off-set to the left.

Nope, but I can tell you it was entered for one race, but never made it to the starting grid. Does this help?

You are a GOD.

Fittipaldi = Correct
56B = Correct
Engine = Correct, though I wasn't sure if it was 4wd.
