What is this car, and in what race did it compete?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

That'd be a Silver Hawk, one of Noel Macklin's products, built in the garage of his private house in Cobham, Surrey. About 30 years ago Chris Gordon resurrected one very much like this, but  the one in the photo is an original from 1920-21 as raced in the Coupe des Voiturettes where they finished 6th and 7th
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

All correct and a point to you. Interestingly enough, I was going to use a modern image but then found this period photo.

One more point and it's the Pros for you.  ;D
