That's an unlikely chain-drive Sunbeam of 1910 called Nautilus. Louis Coatalen at the wheel.
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

That photo appears in Bill Boddy's Brooklands history which is how I knew what it was.
I think that was the (now missing) puzzle photo - with "Nautilus" photoshopped out of course).

There are a lot of missing photos from members who no longer visit us which is a pity but can't be helped.
