The rear looks like a Bmw. I guess Bmw 315 based.

Frazer Nash - Bmw 315/1 sport?  About 1935?

From 1936.  Not based on a Frazer Nash.

I'm not an expert in racing history, but after quite a couple of hours of research, I found a belarus site (!) that shows a picture of a very similar car;  they say that Ralph Roese was its driver in 1939 Eifelrennen.  I hope this is what you were waiting for.
