Thanks for all your perseverance. All I have for this driver is his aristocratic title - an internet search does not reveal his full name.

It seems that the commonest titles are Dukes, Marquises and Counts - is it one of these?

Neither of those. He was indeed a Count.

He was a national champion in a certain type of motorsport in Portugal.

That's him! He was Portugese Hillclimb Champion in 1952 in this car, beating rivals in Ferraris.

Another well-earned point.
