This car contested a handicap race and a scratch race at the VSCC's Boulogne and Hawthorn Trophies Race Meeting at Oulton Park in June 2006.
It's the 1935 Fiat 508S Balilla of Geoff Toms with what the programme of the event says is a 1,089cc unsupercharged engine. The Fiat 508 was produced between 1932 and 1937 and had a 995cc straight-4 sidevalve engine and three-speed gearbox. The 508S engine was upgraded with a four-speed gearbox and overhead valves in 1934, but there's no mention of the engine capacity being increased. It's successor in 1937, however, the Fiat Balilla 1100 (also known as the 508 C) had a 1,089cc overhead valve engine.
