There were a lot of midget racers. Hmm. We'll need a clue here. Was the guy/shop who built it famous for something?

No more so than the thousands of other midget racer builders or drivers.

This one doesn't have a Ford or Offy engine.

Can't be the one with the Lea-Francis engine as the exhaust's the wrong side.
