A mystery with Mr Illés in the back

• 

This photograph comes from the archive of Hungarian journalist, Mr István Illés. He was the editor of Auto, the official magazine of the Hungarian Royal Automobile Club.

On the back is written, "with Malcolm Campbell". Sir Malcolm Campbell visited Budapest in 1931. But we must honestly say that we do not think it is him on the back seat of the car. But who is it then? We do know, that the man in the back with the bowler Mr Illés is, the Hungarian journalist. The people in the front, we do not know who they are.

Pal Negyesi who sent us the photograph guesses the car is a British Sunbeam. But after some research, he found out there was no Sunbeam registered in Hungary in 1931. But of course, does not mean it isn`t a Sunbeam.

What do you think the make and type of the car is? Maybe anyone recognises the other 3 people in the car. Please comment below if you can help us solve this mystery.
