Who built this car, what race series was it made for, and what powered it?

Actually, no, although you would think so by the photo.

Violet?
He built a similar car, FFM, for the 500-3 class...
Roger Sceaux, with a Simca 5 front and an BSA Goldstar engine of 1952!

Yes, well solved! It was built for a short-lived French low-cost race series, basically 500cc F3 with three wheels (Formula 500-3).

The driver I assume is showing the car to a photographer, rather than taking part in a race. He is dressed like one of the Marzotto brothers, or RRC Walker.
