  1. James, thank you for checking with the museum. I found another photo that's possibly the same car & driver, labelled as Ivy Cummings with her father Sydney. I think the date for both photos is 10th April 1920. The car is possibly a Grégoire special with the nickname "Perky". https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b530364606/f1.item.r=brooklands https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b53036492b.r=brooklands?rk=321890;0
  2. The light background is due to the high contrast of the shot. In order to bring out the detail in the car body the background gets blown out. This is still a problem with digital cameras and dark bodied cars. Back then if they were using orthochromatic film this would also happen with cars painted red or yellow.
