Jason - it's the Pycroft-Jaguar a streamlined body built just after WWII on an SS100 chassis.
It won the first ever race at Goodwood in 1948 - coming from the back of the grid.
It got rebodied back to its original SS100 style sometime in the '60's but the Pycroft aerodynamic body was (luckily) safely stored & got re-united during its recent restoration - finished in time to make its debut back at Goodwood last year ... 75 yrs after its original race.
Apologies to Kirk for 'muscling in' on his post.

Andy, you know more about the car than I do. It now appears to reside in The Netherlands as that is where I photographed it.

It's a DKW 3 cylinder 2 stroke engine but I'm not sure
of the model.

I'm feeling slightly smug that I recognised an obscure classic car Andy

You are all wrong
Looks like a DBS 6cyl not a V8 so I won’t cry too much
