Again not that difficult. Mass produced British marque, and this model was not well-known for sporting achievement.

I'd say Sunbeam were well-known in motor sport. Not that.

Not a Rover. The marque in question had some success in motor sport - this particular model did not usually lend itself to competition.

Not that, but you're on the right track. Mass-produced marque.

I'll give you the point for that. The car was in production from 1919 to 1930 - this particular car dates from 1927.

It's been fitted with a sports body for VSCC trials - that engine had a huge amount of low-down torque.
