Possibly based on the Hudson Terraplane and even more of a guess is that the Spikins Hudson in its earliest form?

The car was driven by some Bruce at the Lord Howe Race Track in Kelvin near Johannesburg, South Africa. Still looking for his family name.

I don't know his full name either! It was H W Bruce, and he won the 1937 Silver Springbok Trophy at Johannesburg.

You have clearly identified the car, and that's good enough for me. One point to you.
