It looks quite big and I'd guess some Alvis connection.

It's a big car alright. If it's not American, how about the next best thing. Holden powered?

How embarrassing!
Perhaps the driver is "Pierre Levegh" who is perhaps the most unfortunately famous in France, but I can't find that he drove a Bentley special.
Three Bentley specials come to mind, the Barnato-Hassan, the Pacey-Hassan and the Marker.
I think it's the Barnato-Hassan in an early version.
This is not the same, but similar apart from the front.
