This car took part in the MicroPose Spirit of Speed Pre-War Sports Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999.
It's the 1931 Invicta S-Type of Stefan Schollwöck, who shared the driving with Martin Kölnberger as the race necessitated a change of driver. Noel Macklin founded the Invicta company, production starting in 1925 with a car powered by a 2½ litre Meadows engine. The car progressed through 3 and 4½ litre engines and in 1930 the first S-Type was introduced with a 4½ litre engine, and with the rear axle mounted above the main chassis rails instead of below so that the car sits lower compared with the previous models. In all 76 examples of the Invicta S-Type were built.
