That's Leslie Brooke driving his Brooke Special in its post-war evolution by which time it had an ERA engine and normally ran without a body

Quite so. I thought this would take some time to solve PROVIDED nobody from a certain other forum wasn't looking. The car ran first of all with an MG Magnette engine in a Riley chassis, then with Riley engines,then an Alta engine, and finally the ERA engine. I believe it was at its best in sprints and hillclimbs. This is what it looked like in its final incarnation , with rather attractive bodywork.

Yes, waiting for something you can solve gets frustrating. I promoted 5 puzzles today, and 3 have been solved already. They're all too quick !
