I took this photograph in the paddock at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2003.

It's Benjamin Eastick's 1955 Jaguar D-Type which was built in the 1970's from genuine Jaguar D-type parts and has chassis number XKD 133, but never ran in period. Neither the chassis number nor the registration number 207 RW show up in the coventryracers.com search site. It has the 6-cylinder inline 3,442cc Jaguar XK engine.

1955 Lancia D50

The Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 2000 celebrated 50 years of Formula One, the World Drivers' Championship having started in 1950, and the first race of that Championship was run at Silverstone on 13th May of that year. At the July 2000 meeting at Silverstone there was a representative display of cars covering that 50 year period, and the car below was one of those taking part.

It's a re-creation of the Lancia D50 that competed in the Championship in 1954 and 1955. This car was owned by Robin Lodge, and was entered in the Maserati UK Race for Pre 1961 Grand Prix Cars. It has a reproduction chassis with an original offset 2,488cc V8 engine and transmission salvaged from Enzo Ferrari's 'scrapyard'.

This car took part in the Aston Martin + Other Pre-War/50's Sports Cars Race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's meeting at Oulton Park in May 2002.

The XK120 was produced from 1948 to 1954 and was used for racing and rallying from the start, leading to the Le Mans winning C-Type and D-Types. It was later succeeded by the XK140 and then the XK150.

Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally

This is a photograph I took at the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in September 1995.

It’s a view of the part of the assembly area in Heaton Park and shows part of the site allocated for coaches and single deck buses. To the right, and also beyond the buses at the rear of the photo, would be the double deck buses.
