This particular Allard would have been one of three produced in 1939 with a V12 Lincoln-Zephyr engine, lowered chassis and streamlined wings. It was a development of the V8 Ford-powered trials cars of which 9 were produced prior to the outbreak of war.

The photo is too poor to identify the driver - it could be Sidney Allard himself, or Goff Imhof or Ken Hutchinson. I'd say from the pic that it's a sprint or hillclimb. (Thanks for the point - I'd assumed you would lock it and then I would have to find out more!)

I'd say it is Sidney Allard and the car is FLX 650, owned and part-designed by Derek Silcock according to Kinsella.
Whittingham & Mitchell made the body.
Kinsella also implies that only one of the V12 cars looked like this one.

I think the "normal" 12 cylinder 1938 Allard Special was a bit less elegant:
