This car competed in the 500cc Formula 3 Class in the AMOC Miller Oils Historic Formula Junior Championship race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 2002.
It's Rod Delves' 1952 Kieft CK52 Formula 3 car, with a 498cc Manx Norton engine. This Formula started soon after the Second World War as an inexpensive way to go motor racing with a simple chassis powered by a 500cc motor cycle engine, typically Norton or JAP. It produced a whole range of home-made 'Specials' and also limited production runs by the likes of Cyril Kieft and Charles & John Cooper - the latter going on to greater things with their Formula 1 cars. There's a 500 Owners Association for enthusiasts and owners of these cars.
I've shown photographs of the Kieft F3 car previously, on 16 February 2016, 23 March 2016, 27 June 2016 and 25 October 2017.
