1937 HRG 1½ Litre

I took this photograph at Druids Corner during the Bill Phillips Trophy Race for Standard & Modified Pre-War Sports Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in July 2015.

It's Andrew Mitchell in his 1937 HRG 1½ Litre which has a has a 4-cylinder inline 1,496cc Meadows engine. The programme of the event says this:

'Andrew Mitchell has scored two 2nd Place finishes in his ever-competitive HRG so far this season so will be determined to finally go one better today and successfully defend a trophy he has won the past two occasions.'

(He did go on to win the race by 1.9 seconds from the 1933 Riley TT Sprite of Tim Kneller)
