Amilcar lithograph

Greetings! I am trying to ientify the subject of a Geo Ham lithograph that I recently purchased.

The illustration is of an Amilcar lapping at the Brooklands circuit in the 1930's.

The car is a blue open-wheeled two-seater, with an outside xhaust on the left side. The passenger seat (left seat) is covered by a body-colored tonneau. The car has both a "Brooklands" racing screen and a folded single windscreen.

The lithograph was published by Barataud Cortreau and Cie. Paris in the 1930's.

Can anyone help identify the car by model, its driver or owner, and the particular race meeting involved?

Hallo!
As far as I know the litho by Geo Ham was inspired by Amilcar works driver Morel running in an MCO at Monthléry.
This litho was reedited in a limited and numbered series in the eigthies. I bought my no. 63 at Retromobile in Paris in those days....
On the last Retromobile there were one or two items for sale with dealers - although perhaps ten times as expensive as in the eighties!
