I photographed this car in the paddock at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007.
It's a Lola Mk1 but has no racing number, and although there was a race for 1950s Sports Cars this car is not listed in the programme of the event as taking part. The Lola Mk1 was designed by Eric Broadley in 1958 and was powered by a 1,098cc Coventry Climax FWA engine, and the car pictured here is a 1960 model that belonged in 2007 to John Monson. It had been rebuilt in 1966 and given an FWA engine bored out to 1,149cc, and a new chassis number BR27B in place of the original BR27.
