Experts?

(My apologies for the small image. It's part of a much larger photo, and if you saw the rest it would be too much of a clue!)

Really well solved! That's a very obscure car - I can only find a record of it in one race. I found this photo of the start of the race, and worked out the car by deduction.

You've told me everything I know about the car. It was entered in the cyclecar event.

PS I've just realised you've reached the 400-mark. My congratulations and commiserations at the same time!

After seeing the full image I found the answer searching: BNC Lombard Amilcar Grand Prix.

Thanks for the congratulations and commiserations, the -400 rule helped.

Well done ropat53 !
Thank you very much

Yes, I thought that the full image would make it easier.  I should have left it a few more weeks.......
