Who owns this old race car, and what car is it based upon? What sort of engine does it have?

Looks like a miniature Alfa Bi-Motore built for Avus.

It is a small car, but intended for an adult driver. Not Italian.

British?

British is correct

Replica of a Brooklands record car?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #8 on:** December 19, 2012, 11:18:07 PM »

I believe it resembles a Brooklands record car. I don't think it was intentionally built to replicate one.

RayTheRat · « **Reply #9 on:** December 19, 2012, 11:20:27 PM »

Wild guess, then...at least for the base car: Sunbeam?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #10 on:** December 19, 2012, 11:30:32 PM »

Not Sunbeam

(The streamlined car is resembles, is from a location other than Brooklands, AFAIK)

Up!

Professionals?

Austin Seven Streamliner of 1931.
Took four H-Class records at Montlhéry in September 1931 driven Gwenda Stewart.

... or Supercharged Austin Seven from 1936 ?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2013, 01:43:26 PM »

LOCKED for PGuillem.

It resembles the 1931 Austin from Montlhéry. Most probably this is a modern recreation. There is not a lot of information available on this specific car.

PGuillem, can you provide the name of the car owner for the point?

pguillem · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2013, 03:08:20 PM »

Leon Cushman ?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #16 on:** January 04, 2013, 03:11:40 PM »

Not Leon Cushman.

Still LOCKED for PGuillem

pguillem · « **Reply #17 on:** January 04, 2013, 10:30:58 PM »

Sorry sixtee5cuda, I can't find it. You may unlock.

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #18 on:** January 05, 2013, 12:01:01 AM »

Unlocked.

Can anyone else name the owner of this supercharged 1936 Austin Seven?

Wendax · « **Reply #19 on:** January 05, 2013, 01:24:19 AM »

Dick Greene

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #20 on:** January 05, 2013, 11:32:01 AM »

One point for PGuillem, one point for Wendax. (It seems to be a 1935, but I thought 1936 as well.)

It does resemble the enormous LSR car Golden Arrow, particularly from the rear. That car used the side pods as coolant tanks.
