Porsche 356

I photographed these cars at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies Meeting at Donington Park in May 2001.

They're both Porsches, and the nearest car, registration TSY 157, didn't take part in the racing that day. It's a Porsche 356 and the DVLA record tells me that it's a 1960 model, with a 1.6 litre engine. The car on the far side, registration UUL 442, is also a Porsche 356, a 1957/58 model of 1.6 litres, and it competed in the 2¼ hour long Gentlemen Drivers Race for Pre 1966 GT Cars and Pre 1963 Sports Cars driven by Jeff Moyes and Adam Richardson. This car was apparently once owned by Jim Clark who made his racing debut in it, and also used it as his daily transport.
