I found the copy of the Swedish article from 1992.
It was the car from Classic and Sportscar after all.
The owner claim it's a 65 but details on the car tell
it's a 67.5 anyway. Mu guess it's because he want's
to use it in pre-66 historic racing. It's blue and white
with number 67 E on the doors. The car came from
France in 1990. The engine is an R with Weber 45DCOE
