Not a Tornado, and not certain if it's an F2 car as my source doesn't confirm this, although I suspect it is.  Thanks for the re-sized image.

It's the wrong colo(u)r for a Maserati, so it's not one of those!  :D

Not 100% sure as I don't yet know what engine it used, but 99% likely not to be BMW powered.

I can't find a picture but is it the 1948 Martin Speciale - Fraser Nash (BMW 328)?
