"Rabelro" began its life in the late 1920s. Once known as the "Keith Anderson special". It was fitted with a GN Akela supercharged engine with a MG front axle which was underslung the extruded aluminum chassis that is said to be off an aircraft. The transmission was GN. Anderson apparently never really got the blown GN engine to go very well and he got fed up with it and put it for sale.
Racer Nigel Orlebar bought the car around 1937. He campaigned it for a short while in the form described. He soon tired of the Akela engine, and installed a 1926 AC engine which £10.00. Lucky man - he took it back to his digs which were apparently near Weybridge. Nigel wanted to race at Brooklands. He affixed an Amilcar body
and the AC engine to the car, and swapped in a Frazer Nash front end. He modified Amilcar body into a single seater, and built a steel tube frame. He dubbed the car "Rabelro" - Orlebar spelt backwards.
In 1948 Orlebar sold the car to William Nicholson, who is shown driving the car in the puzzle pic.
