Something tells me it's MG based.
Listen to that thing.

This one's half-solved...
Based upon a pre-war car ID'd above, this car began amassing wins and other strong finishes in the immediate post-war era.
It most certainly is not a tall bag of cheese.
I'd say it's either British or Australian thing.
You would be right.
Also I think I've seen something very similar while searching for PJ's Australian puzzle car...
Was the engine MG's too?
Yep!
Is it Queensland (the track) in case you have the info?
Could it be Wayne Tyson's MG TC?
I have a different name, and don't know of any association with Mr. Tyson.
The Pros, they doze. :snooze:

Yes, I'm a clue.
One last move to the elephant graveyard.
There was an MG based Pink Elephant, but that was in the USA... I haven't come up with somehting more yet, even with a clue.
A more productive path might be divining 'where is the elephant', not 'what is the elephant'. This car has been offered for sale recently, and has be re-fitted with a more traditional MG grille.
:popcorn:
Is it Australian and K-Type derived?
No, and no.
Perhaps one of the new kids can crack this one?
Offering 2 points!
And therefore not a Bongaloo?
That's correct. But you are tantalizing close to the actual moniker of this car!
Locked for you for 24 hours from now.
Milligan special? ;D
Getting colder....
Bongaloo was almost spot-on
Is it from India, just like the elephant and Spike Milligan?
Not from India.
The name's the thing you were very close to.
Boogaloo?
;D

No
Chinaman?
Not sure if this is now open to all again but I think the answer is Bongaroo.
If correct I'm happy to give the point to Guido66 as he obviously knew the name but misspelt it slightly.
It's not Bongaroo
Open to all.
Bangalore?
You're cracking me up!
No
Bungaroo?

I think were supposed to find out in which zoo this photo was taken ;)
Bongazoo! ;D ;D
It's a 1935 MG PA
That's the one!
Archie Craig, the second owner, had a class record in 1953 with impressive189 km/h. The name Bongazoo came from animal in a fairy tail told by Archie Craig's Father.
And for the edification of those interested in bags of cheese, Spike Milligan, etc, here's "Bongaloo"
"What is a Bongaloo, Daddy?"
"A Bongaloo, Son," said I,
"Is a tall bag of cheese
Plus a Chinaman's knees
And the leg of a nanny goat's eye."
"How strange is a Bongaloo, Daddy?"
"As strange as strange," I replied.
"When the sun's in the West
It appears in a vest
Sailing out with the noonday tide."
"What shape is a Bongaloo, Daddy?"
"The shape, my Son, I'll explain:
It's tall round the nose
Which continually grows
In the general direction of Spain."
'Are you sure there's a Bongaloo, Daddy?'
"Am I sure, my Son?" said I.
"Why, I've seen it, not quite
On a dark sunny night
Do you think that I'd tell you a lie?
