Connaught B Type

This car was entered in the Cheshire Building Society Allcomers Race at the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in July 1987.

It's a 1955 Connaught B Type, the same kind of car with which Tony Brooks won the 1955 Syracuse Grand Prix - the first foreign Grand Prix victory for a British car (although it wasn't a World Championship race) since Henry Seagrave won the 1923 French Grand Prix in a Sunbeam.

The car has got a 2½ litre Alta engine
