Ginetta G16

I photographed this car at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1987.
It's Roger Fowler's 1968 Ginetta G16 which the programme of the event says has a 2 litre engine. The Ginetta G16 replaced the smaller engined G12 and was intended to compete in the 2 litre class using Cosworth, BMW and BRM engines. Apparently 8 cars were produced (although one source says 10) mostly with BMW engines, and one was built with a 3½ litre Oldsmobile V8 engine. The car passing behind the Ginetta is Tony Steele's 1959/60 Lola MkII Formula Junior car.
