I took this photograph in the
paddock at Oulton Park at the Tourist Trophy meeting at Oulton Park in 1965.

It was listed in the programme
of the event as an Elva BMW entered by Bruce McLaren Motor Racing Ltd and was
driven by Chris Amon. The race was run in two heats each of 2 hours duration
and the winner would be the car that covered the greatest distance in total.
The winner was Denny Hulme in a Brabham BT8, completing 138 laps, but Chris
Amon's Elva BMW dropped out of the first
heat with overheating after just over 1½ hours and retired after just a few
minutes in the second heat with a broken throttle linkage.
