Olle Ljungström
has identified the car is this photograph
as Chassis no. KR2698. Olle remarks,
"Almost identical photo of this
car illustrating Simon Towle article
in BDC Rewiew 260 (2008) p.458 and
giving this car as Speed Six KR2698.
This picture probably from 1950s
Rally - France?" Dec
7, 2008
Owner, Graham R.E.Gregory comments:
"This photo cannot be either
France or 1950s, but more likely from
a pre-war RAC rally which it competed
in five times!" Feb
