Yes, I would say it almost certainly is.
Many builders of racers used it in the '50s.

That's right.
Apparently it only competed (fairly successfully) for one season in 1956 then was put in a barn and stored for 45 years!
It was unearthed in 2001 and restored in '03, and appeared at the Goodwood Revival in 2006.

It has recently been sold so hopefully will come out to play a bit more often now.

Oops, thanks.
It's that idiot who posted it before who inserted a hyphen where it had no right to be...!

How about eliminating it in the header of the initial post then?

Actually I was joking..
Maybe the correct spelling is with the hyphen; I'll have to try to find out.

There's a hyphen according to Bill Boddy in his report on the meeting at Crystal Palace on August Bank Holiday 1956. It finished 4th and 6th in a couple of sports-car events.

Yes, I think I concluded it should be hyphenated!
