What is this car, and who is the driver?
Experts?
I've got a lot of puzzles on Rookies and Experts at the moment, so this is coming up early for an easy point.
The car is the Wolseley Special being driven driven by Hec Green at Wigram, New Zealand in 1949. He finished fourth, but had the fastest single lap.
A full and correct answer. Another of those interesting specials built in the Southern Hemisphere to enable local enthusiasts to go motor racing.
Who built this, when and what was its donor? All this for a measly point
Experts?
Professionals?
Australian ?
I think it might be Jack Murray's Bugatti-Ford.
Looks more Frazer Nash than Bugatti to me. . .
The Semmence looked similar but its AC engine had O/S exhausts.

Almost Australian :)
Neither Bugatti or Frazer-Nash based
Is it Hec Green's Wolseley Special?
Yes, congrats
