Looks like a land speed record car. Is it from the USA?

Brighton Speed trials?  A Bentley special?  Could it be the Pacey-Hassan? Jackson Special (aka Old Mother Gun)

You cracked it! I was surprised nobody recognised the background, but not everyone's a motor sport historian. It's the 1947 running of the Brighton event, and that is indeed the Brooklands track car Bentley-Jackson.
