Clément-Bayard CB1

This car took part in the Concours d'Elégance event at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Trophy meeting at Oulton Park in August 1992.

It's P J Irwin's 1914 Clément-Bayard CB1, but the programme of the event contains no further information about the car.

Stewart Ford SF01

The Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1998 celebrated 50 year of racing at Silverstone with a display featuring a car for each of those 50 years. This is the car that represented 1997.

It's a Stewart Ford SF01, produced by the team formed by three-times World Champion Jackie Stewart and his son Paul. Paul Stewart Racing had been formed in 1988 for Paul to take part in the British Formula 3 Championship the following year. In 1990 the team underwent a major expansion which included a two-car team led by Paul Stewart to contest the Eutopean Formula 3000 series. At the end of 1993 Paul retired as a driver to concentrate on building up the team which culminated in 1996 with the formation of the Stewart Grand Prix team to take part in the 1997 Formula 1 World Championship with the above car. Rubens Barichello and Jan Magnussen were the drivers in that first season which was marked by a series of retirements, their best effort being Rubens Barrichello's second place at Monaco. The 1998 season was no better with the SF02, but in 1999 Johnny Herbert gained the Stewart Grand Prix car's only victory winning the European Grand Prix at the Nürburgring in a Stewart SF3. At the end of that season Ford bought the team and, renamed as Jaguar, it participated in the World Championship for the next five years. The car's fortunes barely changed, however, and despite the team's two cars managing to finish most races in the 2004 season no podium places were gained and Ford sold the team to the Red Bull Racing team at the end of the season.

Friday's Ferrari

This car competed in the Shell Ferrari Maserati Challenge Race at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Historic Trophies meeting at Donington Park in June 2003.

It's the 1967 2-litre Ferrari Dino 206S of Brazilian (hence the yellow/green colours) Carlos Monteverde, chassis #032. The car was badged as a 'Dino' instead of 'Ferrari', so the chassis numbering didn't follow the standard Ferrari sequence. I've shown photographs twice previously of the Dino 206S, on 16 December 2016 and 17 February 2017.

Lotus 69

At the HSCC Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992 there was a race for three classes of single seater racing cars, one of which was for 'Racing Cars under 1600cc with Wings'. This car was entered for the race in that class.

It's Michael Schryver's 1971 Lotus 69. The Lotus 69 was designed to be used in Formula 2, Formula 3 and Formula Ford racing - this car had a 1600cc engine and looks to have been designed for Fomula 2 racing. The Lotus 69 was also used in Formula B racing in the United States, and this website details one such car.

Reliant Robin

I came across this car parked in a side street recently on my daily walk to Hyde town centre.

It's a Reliant Robin Mk 3, a three-wheeled car that was produced between 1999 and 2001, and the 'V' on the number plate indicates that it was first registered between 1 September 1999 and 29 February 2000.

The Reliant three-wheeler has for a long time occupied a special place in British popular culture, being the butt of many jokes in the 'Top Gear' TV motoring programme, and Del Trotter's mode of transport in the long-running comedy series 'Only Fools and Horses' - the latter being a Reliant Regal Supervan.

Porsche 906

This car competed in the Visage Pre '72 Le Mans Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in August 1996.

It's Ivan Scotti's 1966 2-litre Porsche 906, and the programme of the event said this about the 906:

The Porsche 906 was the first product of the company's new Research & Development man, Ferdinand Piëch. A tubular-framed car, also known as the Carrera 6, it was raced to numerous Group 4 successes in the mid-1960s and developed into an equally successful Group 6 racing version, the 910.

I've featured the Porsche 906 twice before, on 24 February 2015 and 26 October 2015.

DKW Schnellaster

I took this photograph at the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophy meeting at Donington Park in May 2001 - the meeting where Audi brought along C-Type and D-Type Auto Union Grand Prix cars, together with various other cars and motorcycles produced by the Auto Union concern. This vehicle was parked next to the display area where these cars were on show, and it was presumably another of the vehicles brought by Audi.

It's a DKW Schnellaster, a vehicle produced by DKW Auto Union between 1949 and 1962 in Ingolstadt, to the north of Munich in Bavaria. The Auto Union factories were originally in Chemnitz and Zwickau in what became the Soviet controlled East Germany after the Second World War. Auto Union restarted operations at Ingolstadt in 1945 and eventually evolved into the Audi company.
