Here are some photographs of an Edwardian racing car taken at the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in July 1987.
It's a 1913 Theophile Schneider.
It took part in a 4 lap handicap race entered and driven by G. Little.
The programme of the event had this to say about the car after mentioning the oldest car at the meeting, a 1903 Mercedes:
'A 10 year jump from the 1903 Gordon Bennett race brings us to the 1913 French Grand Prix at Amiens, and a car of the type that ran there is due to be at Oulton Park today. It is G. Little's Theophile Schneider, with a long stroke 96 x 190mm, 5600cc engine.'
I can't find any website giving any information about this car but this site on Flickr shows a photograph of the car taken in 2009 and many photographs of other Edwardian cars.
