Looks a bit like a Dellow?

Not Dellow, but right country and era

Cannon?

Professionals, do you have any more ideas?

There were many trials specials in the early 1950s which all looked similar, many of which were owner/driver/comstructor one-offs.
Let's try Cotton.

There were many specials, but according to my source, this one was _really_ special

And no, it is not a Cotton

This was a championship winning special

Any Buckler relation?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #13 on:** January 26, 2010, 06:26:18 PM »

Ausford?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #14 on:** January 26, 2010, 11:32:33 PM »

Neither Buckler, nor Ausford

Ken Wharton won the championship in a car of his own making, and the photos I've seen could be the same car, but also might not be.

- yes, this the Ken Wharton special

Amazing - I've never heard of a racer winning a championship in a charcoal drawing before!

pnegyesi · « **Reply #18 on:** January 27, 2010, 03:12:25 AM »

scan of a photocopied article which featured just a tiny illustration of this car. But I thought it'd be a nice puzzle. And I've seen worse quality illustrations posted as puzzles here....

I was just kidding.

I think there were three Wharton Austin/Ford trials specials with registration numbers:
JHA 704
BFY 229 (in use 1947)
KHA 1 (in use December 1948)
