It's the 'Bloody Mary', JAP engined Bolster Special built by John Vary Bolster & Richard Bolster of Meopham (Kent (GB)) in 1929.

Kind regards,

Er, no!
BM is the twin-engined car in the original photo and the 4-engined car is a different Bolster special.
(ref. "Specials" by John Bolster, 1949/1952)

If any of you are coming to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, Bloody Mary is here, displayed in the Brooklands Paddock, and driving up the Goodwood hillclimb twice per day.  Photos to follow, and maybe I will see you there  :)
