Could it be a P-Type driven by Doreen Evans and one of her brothers? They use to wear white attire as shown in the photo.
For example;

Correction:
Doreen Evans' car was an L-Type.
Motor Sport Mag. Page 20, September 1934
https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/september-1934/20/motor-sport
" The first race was scheduled for one o'clock, and attracted an entry of fourteen cars. A. C. Dobson's Bugatti, acquired from Charles Brackenbury, was the only non-starter. At the end of the first lap some idea of the chances of various competitors could be gauged, and the most casual observer could see that the race was .a good thing for A. Ashton-Rigby an his extremely fast L type M.G. Magna. As the cars traversed the bumps and hollows of the Members' Banking at the end of the first lap, G. L. Green (M.G. Midget) was actually in the lead, followed by S. R. Mitchell (Marendaz Special) and W. E. Humphreys (Alvis), but Ashton-Rigby was bearing down on this trio at great speed. Behind the Magna came Miss P. Naismith (Salmson). C. T. Delaney (Lea-Francis), A. PowysLybbe (Alvis), Miss Doreen Evans (M.G. Magna), R. F. Oats (Amilcar), and the scratch man, A. G. Bainton (Bainton special). Miss Evans had run a bearing on her Magna., and Oats was in trouble."

I'm pretty sure we are looking at the High Speed Trial class B here, that is Patricia Oxenden's Alta in the foreground. The August caption on the photo is, I believe, wrong. |

Yes, Ray, you are correct.
More confusing by the minute.
