Another batch from me......
Rookies please be quick if you want to add to your points score as I'm going to move these up to the Experts in a few days.

First one is a bit of a mystery car to me - I only have a name, engine size and the name of the driver plus an approximate year.
Don't ask me what the base car is - I don't know......

One point if you can identify the name, nationality and approximate year.....

I don't know what the base car is.
It may have been built from scratch.....

I can hear the Pros gnashing their teeth whilst the Rookies and Experts are reaping the benefits of some puzzles......

So let's promote some of my Expert puzzles to the Pros to deal with - starting with this one

Is the engine size 1172cc perhaps?

No it's not 933cc nor 848cc - it's a round number between 933 and 1172

Yes!......but I have no idea which engine it is!

All I know is that's called an xxxxx 1000 c.19xx by x.x. xxxxxxx (you can count the number of x's)

Hmmm... Looks rather Arnott-ish but there aren't enough xxx's for that..
Believe they made a 1000cc Climax-engined car like this around 1955.  Any relation?

It could be a Climax engine as this car is pictured in 1957.
I doubt if there is an Arnott connection except that this car also starts with an 'Ar'

So, now we have Arxxx 1000 c.1957 driven/built? by x.x. xxxxxxx
LOCKED for you to have another guess (I just need the name of the car now for the point - I'll name the driver/constructor later)

Hmmm..  this is tough as I'm not sure this car appears anywhere on the 'net?

I've tried a few 5-letter words I can think of beginning with Ar... but haven't come up with any pictures so let's try the more likely ones.
I thought of Ariel but that was a motorbike back in the '50s or a modern car from today so it probably isn't that!
Let's try Aries?
