I believe this car has featured before, but now I want to know who was driving it and where (as well as what the car is) - for 1 point:
Remember - solving puzzles using 'Google Search by Image' is BANNED on AutoPuzzles!
Would I be correct in saying that the photograph was taken in the 1960s. My thinking is that hay bales have not been around foe some time. :)
No - earlier!
OSCA 3 ltr. Zagato
Experts?
ac aceca rebodied
Is the car an AC Aceca? The rare Ford Zephyr engined version?
It has no race numbers so presumably isn't on a race or rally. So is it being road tested - or rather track-tested?
The track? Snetterton
The driver? John Bolster
It's not an AC Aceca, no.
It is being driven competitively but I don't know why it doesn't carry any racing numbers; I didn't paint them out!
It's not at Snetterton and neither is it being driven by John Bolster.
4 out of 4 wrong - that's about par for the course
It is an Aston Martin DB2 I believe - is it Michel Sparken driving, perhaps in Agadir in 1954.
The sidewindows are a clue, but which one?
I belive his real name was Michel Poberejsky, but he always raced with the nom de plume. By 1954 the car had been fitted with a DB3S engine.
Correction: the car is a 1952 DB3-3 and was rebuilt with this Vignale body for 'Myke Sparken' in 53-54. it was subsequently written off in a road accident.

This is it exactly, yes!
And you're right about the Frenchman's real name as well.
Well done.
The coachwork still exists, on a Ferrari chassis
That's good to hear.
