I would have guessed British, but that #2 isn't painted the British way. British?

Yes, but the picture wasn't taken in Britain which may explain the foreign-looking number.

I've seen this car before, but can't work out what it is. It's the old story all over again.

I've worked out what it's NOT, and it doesn't leave much.

Was this a mass-produced marque?

Isn't it Ernest Eldridge at Montlhery in one of his Anzani powered specials?

17 May 1925 - 4th overall in the Grand Prix de l'Ouverture.

I forgot it used to look like that before he used an underslung chassis. We've had that later car as a previous puzzle, and I solved it. I'm so frustrated! Well done ropat.
