1956/57 Willment Climax

These cars are at Britten's chicane during the 1950s Sports Racing Cars race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Boulogne and Hawthorn Trophies Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 2005.
Leading is the 1956/57 Willment Climax of Barry Cannell with a 4-cylinder inline 1,963cc Coventry Climax FPF engine, driven in period by Graham Hill, Jack Brabham and Stuart Lewis-Evans amongst others. The car behind it is the 1959 Sadler MarkIII of E.D.Butler, driven by Martin Walford, then the 1959 Maserati Tipo 61 of  Alan Minshaw. Following that car is (I think) the 1958 Lister Knobbly of Stephen Gibson, then the 1959 Cooper Monaco of Anthony Ditheridge and the 1958 Devin SS of Ron Gammons.
