My previous puzzle #170 had to be deleted - another repost!

So, a new one. What is this and when was it built?

It is indeed! LOCKED for you to tell me the year and model designation.

Allright. The picture comes from that excellent book about Bond by Nick Wotherspoon.
The caption reads:
The Bond Type C 500 cc racing car circa 1948 with Charles Fothergill 'driving'

Correct answer. Monocoque chassis and FWD. Bond cars were always a bit different.
