For a point I need: the name of the man who made this car, when, how was it called, and where was this picture taken...too many things? No, when you find him, you'll have everything.

Is this car built for racing under the 750MC formula?

targhediferro · October 19, 2013, 03:05:36 PM

No, I undersand it was bigger than 750cc, but anyway it was not built to take part in that Formula.

Did the constructor/driver become famous for making cars?

Not at all! Anyway he didn't produced this car only.

His name was Gerry Bath, and the car was called Pegasus. It was built from the basis of a Triumph Super Seven chassis, with running gear from Ford and Austin parts, and powered by a Ford 10hp engine. He originally intended to fit a Raleigh V-twin motor! It competed in hillclimbs, sprints and races during 1951/52. The article on the internet does not state exactly where the photo was taken , but I think it was Naish hillclimb - the road looks too narrow to be a racing circuit.

(I found this whilst looking for something completely different- it happens to us all the time!)

Perfect replay Nicanary! A point for you.
Having the same interests, it happens that we google all day long about the same subjects...so we find the same site and cars!
