This car took part in the Cheshire Building Society Allcomers Race at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies Meeting at Oulton Park in June 1982.
It's the 1952 Connaught A Type of Gerry Walton, chassis A8, and is pictured here at Knickerbrook Corner during the race. The car was designed and built by Connaught Engineering's Rodney Clarke and Mike Oliver with a 1,960cc engine based on the Lea Francis 4-cylinder 1,767cc unit, and competed in 1952 and 1953 Grand Prix races which were run under the 2-litre capacity formula.
On 30 May 2016 I showed a photograph of the car in the paddock at this meeting.
