A proper name?
It doesn't contain a full proper name, however, it contains elements of the builders first and last names.
Well, I'm a little confused, there's more than one builder in this car. Davies & …
Are the 'Elements of the builders' Something like Engineers?
Don't be confused by my typo; I was typing quickly and omitted the apostrophe in "builder's" by mistake. As far as I am aware, there is only one builder/owner/driver and his last name is Davies.

The vehicle's name incorporates elements of this builder's first name and his last name (Davies). Imagine, for example, if Elon Musk had not chosen the brand name Tesla, and instead named his car the Eluskmobile, or the Elonskcar, or the El Muskaramo, or something similar.

I had tried thousands of combinations, without success. But without the builder's name could it be thousands more. So, let me start guessing:
 Robert?

This could it be endlessly. Let's try different aproach. Is his name shared with another famous Davies?

There are a number of famous Davies with this same first name. Some of them have been involved in sports.

That's it. Locked for you (three attempts or 48-hours, whichever occurs first) to identify the vehicle's name and earn the point.

Does the shot must be car's name (example: Bendacar) and the builder's name (Benjamin Davies) to find it?

Since we now know the builder's name, you only have to provide the vehicle's name for the point.

You are not far off, but the example you used in reply #65 is even closer.

No. The 'example' you used before is still the closest.
