Mercedes Benz SSK

I photographed this car in the paddock at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in August 1992.
It's a 1931 Mercedes Benz, and I've got it labelled as an SSK, but it didn't take part in the meeting and there's nothing in the programme about the car. I can find no other information about it, but if it is a Mercedes Benz SSK it should have a straight-6 supercharged 7.1 litre engine.

Correction (see comments below); It's a 1930 7.8 litre Mercedes Benz 38/250 SS Tourer
