That's an ABC.

That's correct. It's the 1921 JCC 200-mile race car.

Missed this one as I haven't quite got used to being an Expert again!
Rats!

Always puzzled me why ABC used such a high radiator/bonnet line above a flat twin engine.

Presumably to make it look the same as other cars - they missed the opportunity to have an underslung chassis and a very low (and aerodynamic) car.
