Unfortunately the source says nothing about a year when it was built. It only mentions the year 1948 for the Renault donor.

So the only question left to be answered is the driver's name ?

Is he known for having raced other cars than this one ?

I didn't read the whole book word for word, but all I can find is his name linked to this car.

Now I've found his name in another source featuring the same car (no pic here!)
This source gives one particular year in the fifties for this car being active.
It further mentions the builder was a relatively successful driver of midget racing cars. At one point of his career he decided to built his own racing car. It remained the only one.

So, I still want that year... ;D
