Although photographed at Silverstone, is the base car British?

I know a Veritas made its way to England, is this it?

Is it Gil Tyrer's MM BMW 328 which sometimes appeared in programmes as a BMW 328 Brescia.

As I'm clean out of ideas, please unlock it so others can have a try.

Another UK BMW special was the Willis but I'm pretty sure this is not that as it looked like this in the 1940s :

The driver is wearing a 1960s-era helmet. This photo was probably taken at a VSCC meeting. Back to you Allan L.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

This is a well -known German Special built before the War by a wealthy Timber Merchant from Essen. Walter Schluter and was known as the Schluter Special, in fact he had two 328s It came into the UK with a member of the Forces after the war. It went through various hands and via Tony Mitchell it went to George McKeever of Witney, Oxon. Mike Sythes bought it from him in about 1997.

Without the original headlights in 1949 driven by W. Retülsch (which is Schlüter backwards!):
