Veritas Meteor

I photographed this car in a pit garage at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997.
It's the 1950 Veritas Meteor of Michael Rudnig that took part in the Magneti Marelli UK Race for Pre-1952 Grand Prix Cars. The car was intended to be powered by an engine derived from the pre-war 6-cylinder BMW 328, but when that engine proved ineffective Veritas designed their own 2-litre 6-cylinder inline engine which was produced in the Heinkel factory at Stuttgart.

On 3 November 2015 I showed another photograph of the car at this meeting, and on 19 September 2017 I showed a photograph of the same car at the Coys meeting at Silverstone in July 2000. In today's photograph, as in the previous two, Stanley Mann's Bentley Jackson Special, 'Old Mother Gun', is in close attendance.
