This car competed in the HSCC Pre '65 Single Seater Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1987.
It's the 1953 Cooper Bristol T23 (or MkII) of Graham Burrows and is powered by a 1,971cc straight-6 Bristol engine based on the one in the pre-war BMW 328. The original Cooper Bristol was designed as a Formula 2 car, but found itself involved in Grand Prix racing in 1952 and 1953 when the World Championship was run to Formula 2 regulations.
Here's Graham Burrows at Lodge Corner during the race.
On 10 May 2018 I showed a photograph of this car at Donington Park in 2008.
