This car, seen in a very wet Oulton Park paddock at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting in June 1971, was one of the competitors in the Richard Seaman Memorial Historic Trophy Race.

It's the 1938 Multi-Union of The Hon. Patrick Lindsay which was based on a 1934 Alfa Romeo P3. The programme of the event had this note about this car, and the Mercedes mentioned was Colin Crabbe's 1937 Mercedes Benz W125 which also competed in this race:
'The Hon. Patrick Lindsay's Multi-Union was
developed just before the war from Chris Staniland's 1934 Alfa Romeo, such as
Peter Waller is driving today, by motor-cycle tuner J.S.Worters with backing
from High Duty Alloys and Lockheeds. Not only was the engine redesigned but also
the chassis, with coil spring rear suspension and Tecnauto i.f.s., whilst a
single-seater body on Mercedes lines was fitted. The car was extremely fast
both on road and track and its resurrection and entry today is almost on a par
with that of the Mercedes for interest.'
