I took this photograph at the recently closed down Donington Park Museum in May 1989.
This is the last car built by Vanwall, the rear engined 1961 Vanwall VW14, which was built when the old 2½ litre limit for Formula 1 cars was reduced to 1½ litres and VW14 was built to contest the 3 litre Intercontinental Formula. The car originally had a 2½ litre Vanwall engine bored out to 2,605cc and only contested a handful of races before development was stopped when the Intercontinental Formula didn't catch on in Europe.
On 9 November 2015 I showed photographs of this and other Vanwalls that I'd taken at the Donington Park Museum in 2014.
