What is the name of this car, who built it, and what powers the car in this photo?

It is the Milli Union formula 500 with Gerry Millinghton (the builder) at Lulsgate in April 1949

Yes, you get the point for that. It was originally powered by a Norton ES2 engine, but that was too weak, so a Rudge was fitted, and that wasn't fast enough, so in 1949 a Manx Norton engine was installed. The photo as you say dates from 1949.
