For a point, what is this famous car (year, make, model), what great accomplishment is it known for, and who drove it?  Only an answer containing those three things will get a point.

I think this is the 1926 AC Six 2-litre tourer that was the overall winner of the Monte Carlo Rally that year, driven by the Hon. Victor Bruce. I think it started the event from John o' Groats in Scotland, and I've seen pictures of it in a snow-covered landscape. Quite an achievement.
