I have found it online and know (I think) the builders. However, the above post is so close it would be incorrect for me to solve it  ;)

Yes, you are right. It is the BT 750. The 'B' stands for 'Brokes', who was the driver of the car. The 'T' for the mechanic. Would be nice, if you can find out his name to earn the point. LOCKED for you

Thank you for your generosity. In exchange, I'd like to offer you the chance to guess the vehicle's engine and base, for which I'd like to give you a point. ;)

The engine is a BMW 750, probably dating from WW2.

R75 Sahara.

Yes, right. And which car (it is also a race car) is the BT 750 based on?

The mechanic was named Tichavskym. I have found this car on 3 sites - the well-known results site and 2 others in Czech language.I cannot understand a single word  ;D ! There is reference to HMV II - is this what you are looking for?

In 1954 he was racing something called a Zubri Pionyr if that makes any sense. Same engine size.

I wanted to animate you to continue searching, in the same moment nicanary already gave the right answer: Tichavsky is the mechanic's name. You solved two thirds of the puzzle, worth while a point

Yes, the BT 750 is based on Vaclav Hovorka's HMV II. One more point for you.., too
