Know what? I hadn't even noticed that! I was more concerned about something else in the image that I hadn't properly "dealt" with.

Well solved, and one point nearer the Pros.

Driver was M. J. Hynes, and the car competed in all the major Irish race meetings, which were usually on a handicap basis.

I meant to photoshop the (faint) Ford badge on the radiator, but forgot!
