The woven wattle fencing suggests that it's Le Mans, but the car is indeed a puzzle. It looks an awful lot like a Delahaye 135CS, but the photo is a bit fuzzy, and the car looks too high and heavy.

Is it a Delahaye ?

No, it's not a Delahaye.

Amilcar Pegase G36 pictured at the 1938 Vingt-Quatre heures du Mans.

That's the right car, yes.
Locked for you to tell me from when it dates (I didn't ask when and where it was pictured racing!)

Yes; apparently it's the only one to have survived out of the 3 or 4 built.
