No, it is not a Brooklands: again it is (34) Slippery Anne in its Austin Works form with the overcapacity blown 776cc engine, driven by Waite. Slippery Anne was a lengthened chassis [by 12"] and suffered from flexing and damage to body panels, retiring at lap 51. A Brooklands has a conventional radiator shell.

Not Harvey's Alvis, this is the second FWD car, no 3, driven by the Earl of Cottenham (Mark Pepys), who retired when a faulty gauge led him to believe that an oil pipe had broken.
