Yes, a 1934 JMB special, that's all I know about it.

If my source offers a right description, this should be a 'JMB 'Mustang', chain-driven with an 500 cc Jap OHV engine from 1934.
JMB brand was founded in 1933 in Ringwood (GB) and receives the initials of the participants in the project: GH Jones, RW Mason and C Barrow.
Thank you for the point

The production Mustang has been a previous puzzle. Those painted racing numbers look very French - is this car in a museum of Bol d'Or cars ?

I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

It has been exhibited at the ATF-stand (Amicale Tricyclecariste de France, Epoqu'Auto 2021), with following additional description, '..with a "sport" bodywork not listed in the brand's catalogue.'

The numberplate on display is a London issue and the car was first registered in April 1934. The DVLA records the colour as black, however . . .
