Not a well-known marque, so not an AC.

This one is pretty obscure, so it's time for the Pros.

Perhaps a Winco? If I'm right, I'll have to search for the driver.

Bingo! LOCKED for you to find the driver.

This is not a well-known marque - it goes to show how much good APmembers know about our hobby!

Thanks for the lock, and the kind words, Andy.

Actually, finding the driver was much easier than I expected.  Just Googling Winco and a couple of other key words, and there it was.  The driver (and car designer) is George Bullock shown in the car at Brooklands in 1914.

Yes. A well-earned point. It's the 1914 Whit-Monday Brooklands Light Car Handicap.

The cars were built by Stringer Engineering, and after WW1 were known as Stringer-Winco.

I think this could be the same car. Pictured at Saltburn beach races where it won its class.
