This car was amongst the many static display vehicles at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992.
It's a 1958 Lister Jaguar that has been owned and raced by the Ham family, David and Simon, since 1969. Originally owned by Scottish businessman Sir Alexander Miller, it was sold first to hill climb specialist Phil Scragg who installed a Chevrolet engine in place of the original Jaguar unit, then by George Tatham, before ending up with David Ham who restored the car and put back the original Jaguar engine. There's a more extensive history of the car on this article on the Chateau Impney website prior to their Hill Climb in May 2016.
