It's Stephen Bond's 1955 1,991cc Lister Bristol 'Flat
Iron', chassis BHL9, formerly John Horridge's Ecurie Bullfrog car, and is pictured during the
race at Druids Corner. The car began life with a Riley engine and was driven by John Horridge and Geoffrey Beeson in the 1955 Bol D'Or 24-hours Grand Prix de Paris but failed to finish. It was given a 1,991cc
Bristol engine the following year and raced at national and international level
before crashing heavily at Snetterton in July 1957. Subsequently the car was
rebuilt by the Works with new 'flatiron' bodywork.
