Better quality photo :)

A.J. Hancock was Vauxhall's star driver in the early years of Brooklands, and prolific record-breaker. In 1909 he drove a streamlined  version of his 3-litre Vauxhall racer with slim single-seater body and wind-cheating nose. The car was nicknamed "KN", because is was said to be "hotter than cayenne pepper" and by the end of the year Hancock had taken the flying half-mile class record to 88,6 mph.
