1.5 liter Riley.
To follow the new rule about source of information, I've been browsing through Indian specials a couple years ago and I just remember this car and this exact photo from back then.
That's correct. I found this photo purely by accident, and for some reason I thought the motor-racing scene didn't exist in India until recently. I don't think there were many meetings, and most seem to have been for the locally-built Fiat 1100 saloons. There is a clue in the photo - there is a woman wearing a sari at the front of the spectators!
I can't get the idea out of my head that this car also raced in East Africa. I think I've seen reference to it racing in Zambia or Kenya, but as usual I didn't make notes at the time. Maybe it was owned by an Indian person who then moved back to the sub-continent and took the car with him.
One well-earned point for a difficult puzzle.
