Veritas Meteor Streamliner

This car, although originally built and raced as a Formula 2 car, took part in the Champagne Charles Heidsieck Sports Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1993.
It's Gerry Porter's 1949 Veritas Meteor Streamliner, a car originally purchased by Karl Kling who had this streamlined body made by the coachwork company Herbmüller in place of the normal open wheeled body. The earlier Veritas sports cars had used a modified BMW 328 engine, but Veritas designed their own Meteor engine for use in the Formula 2 cars.

On 7 March 2016 I showed photographs of this car that I had taken at the Coys meeting at Silverstone in 1999.
