That's actually one of the correct answers! The car was known as the "Ace of hearts".

I will LOCK it for you to see if you can find the answers to the other questions.

Yes - well found. Another point to you.

I think it was the racing model CGS, but no worries. Vernon Balls was the UK importer of this marque.
