Another name to try is Warburton, but I can't find anything to confirm that.

Not Warburton. The name is someone who went on to be a race and rally driver for Ford.

Ken Wharton just about meets that criterion, but again I can't find owt.

Was he a factory Allard driver or a private one?

Probably. He rallied in Europe but I don't think he competed in races.

Some confusion here I'd say . . .

Yes. Some confusion indeed. The rallies in which he competed would have contained some circuit races as some of the stages. I'm thinking Tulip Rally for one.

I'll make things clear - this car belonged to a British driver  best known for competing in trials and rallies. He may have competed in some circuit races but this is not what he was best-known for. After using this Allard (in an earlier different form) he rallied for the works Ford team.

Perhaps Ken Chambers is the man - I didn't know of the Allard, if so!

Reply #8 from Frontman asked if this car was a J1. I replied "no".  It is not definite, but there is a chance this car was based on a J1 chassis - I don't actually know or have proof.

The surname I'm looking for begins with the letter B.
