I took this photograph in the paddock at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in June 1984.
It's Rod Jolley's Giron Alvis, described in the programme of the event as a 1932/37 car with a supercharged 3,500cc engine. I can't find out much about this car, but I suspect it may be a 1932 Speed 20 with the six-cylinder inline 3,571cc engine from a 1937 Speed 25. The only reference to it in the programme notes reads:
'The silver Giron-Alvis is always an unforgettable sight, and it can go very fast, if not always for long.'
Thanks for taking the time to share these wonderful posts with us. I am just amazed with the excellent photos that you provide in your articles. Have a great rest of your day and keep up the great posts.
