ERA R5B 'Remus'

I took the photograph of this car rounding Lodge Corner during the Richard Seaman Memorial Historic Trophy Race at the VSCC's meeting at Oulton Park in June 1981.
It's the Hon. Patrick Lindsay in his 1936 ERA R5B 'Remus', which was originally in HRH Prince Chula of Siam's White Mouse stable and driven by his cousin HRH Prince Birabongse, who raced under the name of B. Bira. The car has the supercharged 6-cylinder ERA 1,980cc engine derived from the Riley 9 unit.

On 3 July 2013 I showed a photograph of R5B at Donington Park in 2001 and provided links to sites giving the history and previous ownership of all the ERA cars.
