I'm afraid I can't tell you one way or the other. I don't know a full history of the car. It may have done.
Pros?
The Paddock looks like Snetterton or Brands Hatch, although I'd opt for the former at a push, c.1963-ish judging by the other cars in the background. Am I on the right track, so to speak?

Yes, It's windy city, the recipient of all the weather from Siberia which travelled in across the North Sea. Snetterton 1964 to be precise.
Ah, thought so, and thanks for the year. This will now give me a distraction from Wendax's tricky but fascinating Rust Never Sleeps puzzle to do some research on something else :). Back to you soon, hopefully...
Assuming it competed in the 1964 BRSCC race at Snetterton, it seems car number 66 was an AD Climax, which I can't pretend to know very much more about!

Your investigation has paid off. The point is yours.
I too knew nothing about the car, and posted the image on TNF and received all that i now know- it was sometimes known as the AD Sportive Climax and was built by Arvin Developments with a 1098cc Climax unit. It was entered by E Crocker and G F White. I would imagine that by 1964 the old Climax unit was uncompetitive against MAE Ford motors.
