1928 Frazer Nash Ford

This is a photograph that I took during the Oulton Park Trophy Race for Special Pre-War Sports Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Hawthorn Memorial Trophies meeting in July 2015.

It's the 1928 Frazer Nash Ford of Jonathan Cobb about which the programme of the event says '....with Jonathan Cobb a likely front-runner in his Ford-engined Frazer Nash....'. The entry list in the programme of the event says that it has 3,320cc engine.

2002 Bentley Arnage

This is one of the vehicles that took part in a classic car show on the market square in Hyde in September 2021.

It’s a 2002 Bentley Arnage.

It has a 6,750cc twin-turbo V8 engine.

883 of these cars were produced in 2002, and a total of 7397 between 1998 and 2009.

1933/36 Aston Martin Le Mans

This is a photograph that I took at the Knickerbrook chicane during a scratch race at the Vintage Sports Car Club’s meeting at Oulton Park in June 2008.

It’s the 1933/36 Aston Martin Le Mans of Tony Armstrong which should have a 4-cylinder inline 1,493cc engine, but the programme of the event says that its capacity is 1,850cc and it is supercharged. There’s no other mention of the car in the programme but I’ve found several online references to it, though none of them give any information about the engine. The car following it appears to be the 1926 Bugatti Type 35B of Mike Preston.

1950 AEC Regent III

This is one of the vehicles that took part in the Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1990.

It's a 1950 AEC Regent III and the note about the vehicle in the programme of the event reads as follows;

AEC Regent 3RT, Weymann, 1950                                                                                LLU 613

London Transport RT

Enetered by B Simmons, Baguley, Manchester

Starting as a Greenline bus in 1950 this bus passed to London Country. London Transport purchased the bus back in 1972 and it was one of the last 13 RT's in service in 1979.

1960 Elva 200

This was one of the cars entered for the Coys of Kensington Formula Junior Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 2000.

It’s the 1960 Elva 200 of Grant Stephen and has a 1,098cc BMC Cosworth engine.

1903 Oldsmobile Curved Dash

 This is a photograph that I took at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in June 2006.

It's a 1903 Oldsmobile Curved Dash, over 19,000 of which were built between 1901 and 1907, and it has a single cylinder 95 cu. in. (1,560cc) engine. There were several other cars of  early 20th century vintage parked nearby but no mention of them in the programme of the event. The programme does give a list of the Concours d'Elegance entrants which were gathered together just outside the paddock. A check of the DVLA record for AM256 says that vehicle details could not be found.

Friday's Ferrari

This is a photograph that I took  during the HGPCA Race for Pre-1961 Grand Prix Cars at the Historic Grand Prix Cars Association's meeting at Donington Park in May 2004.

It's Alexander Boswell's in his 1952/55 Ferrari 625, originally a Ferrari 500, chassis #0482, built as a 4-cylinder 2 litre Formula 2 car and used in World Championship races in 1952 and 1953 when they were run to Formula 2 regulations. The new Formula 1 regulations specifying a 2½ litre engine came into force in 1954 and this car was given a 2½ litre unit to convert it to a Ferrari 625. It later had a 4-cylinder 3-litre Ferrari 735 engine installed and was raced in Australia by Peter Whitehead.
