Riley 1500, Bill Jennings Special

Wow! That was quick! Yes, you're right, one of several Riley specials Built by Jennings, a rear-engined one has been a previous puzzle. This one is pictured coming 2nd overall in the False Bay 100 F. Libre race in 1954.

One point to you.

That's a curious caption.  Is the second picture the top one?

The caption says the Jennings car is top left, which is correct.
