Could it be a Rochdale F-type?

I wondered, and it might be, but that's not even part of the answer; sorry!

Could it be the Victoria-Climax, although I never seen photo of it with those wheels.

It's not that, no.

I knew I had seen that rear end somewhere. It's at the Silverstone 6hr relay race in 1959, and that explains the 'B' suffix to the race number.
The car is Bernard Cox's HSK Special, powered by an 1172 ford engine.

I have never seen a photo of its front.

Exactly! Well done.
I believe Bernard Cox was the same one who went on to build the Cox GTM?
