What is this car, and who built it?

Another photo that rings bells, but goodness knows where. Is it 750 BMW powered?

Is it a one off carrying the individual builders name?

It is a one-off and the builder's name is included in the car's title.

Ha - found it. Just the difference between Czech and Czechoslovakia in the search engine. It is the 1950 HMV 750.

Was it Prague racing driver Vaclav HOVORKA?
