The winning car was driven by Freddie March, the 9th Duke of Richmond.
At the end of the clip he is shown holding the trophy with his co-driver Chris Staniland.
Thanks for the research. We've added those names to the description.
Identifiable at 00:57 is the No. 12 Talbot 105 of Owen Saunders-Davies and Bill Craig (truly belting round the track!).
They're overtaking No.32, the Aston Martin Le Mans of Humphrey Cook and Dudley Benjafield.
At 01:13, No. 10 is another Talbot 105 containing Brian Lewis and John Hindmarsh.
At 01:30 is No. 6, the Talbot 90 of Eric Burt and S J Burt.
At 01:53, No. 4 is the Maserati 8C-2500 of George Eyston and Giulio Ramponi.
"One of the winning cars is wheeled in and the drivers climb up to the podium to receive their trophies. They were driving for the MG (Morris Garages) team" - that's the No. 60 MG MIdget of the already documented March and Staniland.
The race was run on 9 May 1931.
