The car is a heavy 1950 Alvis TB 14 drophead cruiser…
It’s based on TA14 sedan underpinnings, fitted with an 1892cc four cylinder engine fitted with twin-SU’s- about 68bhp and good for 80mph.
Its not of any interest to you racing lot, but I like the 1953 shot by Inge Morath, a noted photographer of the time. Click here for her interesting obituary;

Yes, it is a great shot! Don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these before, and I’m now looking for info….. Thanks, keep up the posts
Ken,
I’m not familiar with the photographer, interested to see if you find any other automotive work.
