It's 1972 Triumph GT6 MkIII and has a 6-cylinder inline 1,996cc engine. 40,926 GT6’s were produced between 1966 and 1973.

Lotus Elise

This is a car that I photographed in one of the car parks at the Vintage Sports Car Club’s meeting at Oulton Park in May 2019.

It’s a Lotus Elise, a car that was produced from 1996 to 2021with a choice of various engines of around 1.8 litres. The DVLA says it no longer has a record of this registration number, but the ‘V’ in the number indicates that it was registered between September 1999 and February 2000 which means that it’s Series 1 car.

1924 Star

This is a photograph that I took before the start of the Lancashire Automobile Club’s Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1979.

It’s not listed in the programme of the event, but it’s a 1924 Star, a car that was produced between 1922 and 1928 in the USA. The DVLA record says that it is taxed up to July 2027 and has a 1,945cc engine.

1969 Maserati Mexico

This is a photograph that I took at the Silverstone Classic meeting in July 2010.

It’s a Maserati Mexico, a car that was produced between 1966 and 1972 with a V8 engine of either 4.2 or 4.7 litres. The DVLA record says that this is a 1969 car with a 4,700cc engine.

1996 Volvo S40

I took this photograph at Druids corner during qualifying for the HSCC/TCRE Touring Car Challenge race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2018.

It’s Jason Minshaw in his 1996 Volvo S40 which has a 4-cylinder inline 2 litre engine.

1952 Leyland Comet

This was one of the entrants in the Greater Manchester Transport Society’s Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1990.

It’s not listed in the programme of the event, but apparently it’s a 1952 Leyland Comet 90 Tractor Unit.

Friday's Ferrari

This car competed in the Shell Ferrari Historical Challenge race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1998.

It’s a 1956 Ferrari 860 Monza which has a Lampredi designed 3,432cc 4-cylinder inline engine and, in conjunction with the 290MM, was victorious in the 1956 World Sportscar Championship, winning three of the five races on the calendar, the 12 hours of Sebring, the Mille Miglia, and the Swedish Grand Prix. This car, #0604M, won the Sebring race that year driven by Juan Manuel Fangio and Eugenio Castellotti. At this Silverstone meeting the car was driven by the then owner Nicolaus Springer. and a later owner of the car was Chris Evans.
