MG?

Yes - it's an MG based car. LOCKED for you. Who is the driver?

nicanary · « **Reply #13 on:** July 05, 2020, 06:26:13 AM »

Unlocked.

Since my time in SR!
I can only find two Rhodesian MG Specials one of which isn't like the puzzle car and the other (which I can't find a photo of) was driven by Chris Annesley, so perhaps it's him and perhaps the car is his CRA Special?

Afraid not. If it's any help, the year is 1953.

are you sure it is from 1953?

My source was a publication which covered international race winners for 1953, and I have taken my information from the caption attached to the photo. There is always the possibility that the caption was incorrect. What is the Heany 100? A race? That's not the name of the race won by this car.
