Well that is the Albert car owned by Harry Hawker, the aviator who gave his name to the aircraft company formerly known as Sopwith.

Yes indeed. An Albert G3 from c.1920/21 with special bodywork commissioned by Hawker.

It's a 1920/21 Albert G3-based special built for aviation pioneer Harry Hawker, and a repost of https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2016-45/nic601/
