1970 Martin BM8

This was one of the competitors in the HSCC Atlantic Computers Historic GT Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in May 1986.
It's John Saphir's 1970 Martin BM8, a car that was built to contest the European Sportscar Championship for 2-litre cars. Brian Martin started by building one-off sports racing cars for his own use, the first one being an MG TA with a Ford 105E engine. I've not been able to find out much about this car but several of Brian Martin's cars were powered by 2-litre BMW engines, and the programme of this event says this one had an 1800cc engine.
