Riley v. Aston Martin

This photograph was taken at Luffield Corner during the VSCC Bill Phillips Trophy Race at the Silverstone Historic Tribute meeting in June 2004.
The red car on the left is Pete Candy's 1936 Riley Falcon Special, which he named 'TheRat', and has a 4-cylinder 1,496cc Riley 12/4 engine. On the right is David Freeman's 1936 Aston Martin Speed Model, which the programme of the event says has a 1,970cc engine, though the Speed Models were built with 4-cylinder 1,950cc units. The DVLA record says that the current capacity is 2,107cc.
