This car took part in a 10 Lap Scratch Race for 1950s Sports Racing Cars at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in May 2001.
It's Nick Wigley's 1953 Tojeiro Bristol, with a 1,971cc straight-6 engine derived from the pre-war BMW 328. This is the car that inspired the AC Ace Bristol, which in turn led to the Ford V8-engined AC Cobra.
On 15 August 2016 I showed a photograph of this car at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in 2002.
