I'd like to know make, model, year and the name of the pilot who made his first steps with this kind of car.

It's British, but not an AC.

I'm assuming that this car is by a rather obscure company, so I'll try a 1914 Buckingham 8, designed by Captain J. F. Buckingham.

Grahame-White ?

I've changed my mind - the Grahame-White light car WAS obscure. I think this may be a 1920 Hillman Super Sports, as raced at the start of his career by Raymond Mays.

Your change of mind will be awarded with a point. It's the Hillman Raymond May started his career with. Can you add model and year? Locked.
