1969 Piper GTT

This was one of the entrants in the Cheshire Concours d'Esprit at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2017.
It's a 1969 Piper GTT, about which a note in the programme of the event says:

'Designed for the track, this futuristic lightweight aerodynamic sports car was one of the lowest profile road cars ever built. Piper entered for Le Mans in 1969 and the concours entry raced at UK circuits through the 1970s and 1980s, one time under Guernsey Airlines sponsorship livery.'

This is an information sheet in the windscreen of the car, which the DVLA record says has a 1,688cc engine - presumably a bored out version of the 1,599cc Ford Kent engine.

This is the car during a Parade Lap by the Concours d'Esprit entrants on the Sunday of the 3-day meeting.
