I photographed this car at the Silverstone Classic meeting in July 2010.
It's David Clewley's 1953 Cooper-Alta, and it took part in the HGPCA Pre-61 Front Engine Grand Prix Cars race.
The car is a Cooper T24, derived from the T20 and T23 cars that used the much taller Bristol engine and so the front air intake is smaller and the nose of the car is lower and extends further forward than the Bristol-engined cars. It has a 1,996cc straight-4 Alta engine and was driven by Stirling Moss in the 1953 season.
