I think this is the 1920 Calthorpe 10hp Super Sports that is still around. Regret no idea on the driver. I thought we were supposed to identify the cars!! Regards Vintman

PS How do you insert a smiley?

It is a Calthorpe from around that time. Looking at the body it could be a car of the same type. This car had a nickname and the driver is not unknown. Feel free to answer the questions posed in this puzzle. If you don't want to, there are enough other puzzles around.

Locked for you to find the driver.

BTW, smileys can be included by clicking on them in the "Post reply" section.

Barnato was linked to Calthorpe but this does not look like Barnato??

Not Barnato

Fred Burgess?

Wendax · « **Reply #13 on:** March 23, 2014, 08:44:35 AM »

Majeko, I just saw that the puzzle is locked for Vintman. Let's give him one more try.

Not Fred Burgess anyway.

A hint: Later on, this driver participated several times in the 24 hours race at Le Mans.

Majeko · « **Reply #14 on:** March 23, 2014, 02:41:13 PM »

I didn't see that you locked otherwise I would have respected that. No harm done!

vintman · « **Reply #15 on:** March 24, 2014, 08:46:48 AM »

Have asked around but nobody came up with any ideas. Give in !

Vintman

Wendax · « **Reply #16 on:** March 24, 2014, 08:49:55 AM »

Unlocked and open for all experts

Majeko · « **Reply #17 on:** March 24, 2014, 09:41:37 AM »

Brian Lewis?

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** March 24, 2014, 09:55:57 AM »

No, but I am looking for a race car driver, too. He and Brian Lewis participated in same races, for example TT and Le Mans.

Majeko · « **Reply #19 on:** March 24, 2014, 09:57:10 AM »

Frank Clement?

Wendax · « **Reply #20 on:** March 24, 2014, 12:26:03 PM »

Not him. BTW, Frank Clement and our puzzle driver both took part in the same race at Brooklands.

Sammy Davis?

Wendax · « **Reply #22 on:** March 24, 2014, 01:29:29 PM »

No...

Wendax · « **Reply #23 on:** March 24, 2014, 01:30:08 PM »

... but the Sammy Davis you are referring to was a co-driver of the wanted man.

Majeko · « **Reply #24 on:** March 24, 2014, 01:38:00 PM »

Benjafield?
