Is it a knwon name in the car industry as a maker, pilot, designer, coachbuilder or dealer?

I cannot yet answer the puzzle, but just to point out the value of research, I came up with the following
photos when searching "European caravans of the 1930s" or something like that. Also a history of the
Irish "Travellers", something I knew nothing about before this puzzle.

Just looking at the way he parted his hair, it could be Bernd Rosemeyer.

Not him, but you are close.

Bill Murray · « **Reply #18 on:** January 22, 2015, 09:35:44 AM »

The hair doesn't match well but the nose does.

Rudy Caracciola?
I have little idea who built the trailer. Is that part of the puzzle?

Bill

Wendax · « **Reply #19 on:** January 22, 2015, 09:40:25 AM »

Not him.
And yes, builder and name of the caravan are part of the puzzle, too. (It won't be very hard, once you have identified the driver.)
