Is it another ex-HWM team car: an [a?] HWM-Jaguar?

Unfortunately you're barking up the wrong tree.....
Nothing to do with either HWM or Jaguar - it's a smaller car than those.

Yes it is a Jacobs-MG Special but not from 1951 (slightly earlier than that).
LOCKED for you to come up with the correct year.....

My source said 1951 but ok, let say 1950...

Alright let's not split hairs - the car was actually built in 1949.
Another point for you.
