Does the Steyr powered Allard count? Or Archie Butterworth's creation?

David Hodges doesn't mention a Grand Prix Steyr in his A-Z of Grand Prix Cars
The nearest I know of is the AJB. This had an air cooled Steyr engine in what was basically a Jeep chassis. Although generally used for sprints and hillclimbs it did run in the 1950 Daily Express International Trophy at Silverstone.
Sidney Allard won the 1949 British Hillclimb Championship in his Steyr-powered Steyr-Allard but I don't think he ever raced the car.
