It looks as though this might be an event in Italy - Targa Florio, Mugello, etc.
I haven't found the car yet but is it Italian?

I´m very sure neither the car nor the racetrack are italian.

Thank you for that, I had a feeling that the car was not Italian (the background confused me!).
I'll keep searching.......

Dang! It's in one of my books shown on a different rather fuzzy pic. I wasn't able to match it.

The streamlining was not really consequent and it looks odd and indecisive from every perspective.

But that makes it even more interesting today...
