This car competed in two scratch races at the VSCC's Hawthorn Memorial Trophies Race Meeting at Oulton Park in June 2008.
It's the 1913/18 Vauxhall Viper Special of Tony Lees, and is pictured here at Britten's chicane during the first of those races. The car was built by David Biggins on a 1913 Vauxhall A-Type chassis and has a 1918 Wolseley Viper 11.8 litre V8 aero engine, which was a Hispano Suiza HS-8 unit built under licence by Wolseley Motors during World War I. The Vauxhall is being followed by the 1931 Invicta S Type of Trevor Swete and the 1935 Riley Nine 12/4 Special of Richard Brightman.
On 20 May 2013 I showed a photograph of this car in the paddock at Donington Park in 2006.
